- Satyr tragopan (Tragopan satyra) couple, male bird performing a “lateral” display.
Also known as the “Crimson horned pheasant” these beautiful pheasants are found from India through to Myanmar.
This captive pair is just 2 years old, their first year as full adult birds. Whilst the tragopan display of inflated horns and fleshy lappet is typical of the species, the “lateral” display where the male inflates his feathers and pancakes out, facing broadside to the female is much more commonly commonly observed. Here the male bird shows the female all of his beautiful plumage in a much more relaxed way than the sometimes-energetic chase that follows the true lappet and horns display!

I love the close up of his feathers as he walks in front of the camera! What a beautiful bird!
He is, thank you
"Hey girl...what do you think...about...THIS side! Huh? Huh?"
"...Meh. I think I'm more interested in preening MY sides, thanks. 🙄"
😄that sums up all Pheasant courtship
Aashallah
We riise our ornamental pheasants by incubator as their mums have no success, squash them, leave them outside when shld be back in shelter etc. What was yr comment again please re incubtor-raised poults please? I cldn't catch it clearly enough.
Sadly some pheasants make poor (captive bird) parents and many experienced breeders have learnt that these species require artificially incubation. I don't own an incubator as, in the past, when I have had to use artificial means I have used a "broody chicken" which make excellent, attentive parents.
Tragopans are generally good parents and will sit and then hatch and rear there young with no problems, however, I do have a new, young Temmincks female which lays eggs but does not want to sit! She seems the exception and this proves that there are no general rules.
Regarding squashing, I think sadly this is often a chick dying through a problem but being found where the female has brooded other chicks, its rare for a female bird to be so clumsy to squash a chick. I agree it is very distressing to loose young birds that are in your care
