Lady Amherst's pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae) is a bird of the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae.

All in all Lady Amherst's are fantastic birds. They are particularly stunning can become very tame, with only a little time spent with them on a daily basis. The easiest way to calm the birds is by offering treats. It does not usually take long, with hand reared pheasants at least, before the birds start eating from your hand. We have quite a few Amherst's that are always close to tripping us up, as they gather round our feet, waiting for a tasty snack.
