Amherst / Reeves Pheasant Cross

Tying with Lady Amherst / Reeves Feathers

The Lady Amherst pheasant possesses a similar form as the golden with crests, tippets, etc. Tail feathers can be used in married and mixed wing salmon flies.

The tippets are used for wings on such flies as the Lady Amherst and the Lang Syne that uses green dyed tippets. Besides wings, the tippets can be used for body veilings, tails and hackles on grub patterns.

The red crests make for great body veilings, tails and toppings. Single tail fibers used as horns on salmon flies make striking contrasts against the wings. The green, golden and red of the body plumage offer the creative tier and crafter with myriad possibilities.

Male	$0.00
Here is an adult male, I guessing 3 to 4 years old. This bird is just coming out of a moult, the color is vibrant and the edges of the feathers are fresh. With game farm raised birds, the best quality feathers come from just such a bird. No wear marks from rubbing on the wire or fading from the sun. The tail has not grown all the way in, but as you can see, the covers and tail quills are long enough to any pattern.

Thanks!

<malayan peacock pheasant> Pheasants

All pheasants are native to Asia. There are 52 different breeds of these beautiful birds, 17 of which are listed as endangered.

Habitat destruction and hunting has reduced the number of these birds in the wild. The Hainan Peacock Pheasant, thought to be a subspecies of the grey, is one of these and is one of the most endangered birds in all of China. Today it is at greater risk of extinction than even the Giant Panda.

None listed here are in such danger - but with habitat destruction and population growth, it's just a matter of time.
