We have a pair of Ring-Necked Pheasants in my neighbourhood and they tend to be pretty secretive. You only sometimes see them running around on the fields and it's always a delight! I have started calling them "fancy chickens" 😅
They're not actually native to Germany but were brought here from Asia a long while ago. They were bread, let go and subsequently hunted as a sport. Nowadays, hunting them isn't really common anymore, so they have begun becoming so common that most people wouldn't think they weren't native to here.
