Those are definitely some beautiful birds. Although I believe some are possibly The result of selective breeding. I saw a ringneck pheasant this year in  Yakima. Supposedly, those are one of the rarest Of all pheasant.

Not one of those are the result of selective breeding(the color variations of the golden maybe an exception depending on how you look at it). they are all different breeds and all but the Blyths tragoapn are in aviaries in the US I believe. We have raised several of them and Bone addict has as well. There are multiple varieties of ringneck from many places in the world. It is a fantastic hobby, though not cheap and can be very time consuming. I knew a guy in Walla Walla years ago that raised several hundred Reeves pheasants for release on his farm. The (old) game department released several varieties of galliformes in the 70 and 80s from what I have read. The state will not allow grouse or ptarmigan in captivity  but I would love to if they would.
