The Ringneck Pheasant
Ringnecks mainly rely on their eyesight and hearing to escape predators. They also can sense oncoming predators by ground vibrations through pressure-sensitive pads on their feet.

A Ringneck's diet consists of small grains, weed seed, and insects. They prefer corn, but will also eat wheat, oats, soybeans, sorghum, and milo. Insects like the Grasshopper provide much needed protein.

Like most upland birds, pheasants have a short life. Rarely does a pheasant live for more than 2 years.
