Although this colourful and handsome bird is Britain's most widespread game bird, it is not a native. The pheasant's native home is in Asia, from the Caucasus eastwards to China. Its eating qualities were appreciated as long ago as the Middle Ages when it was first introduced. It appears infrequently as a pub sign.
