| On the walk I did after the doctor visit, I finally saw a pheasant after it had squawked. (10X zoom) |
Pheasants are dull, clumsy, lame birds—except when their wings are folded, and the birds are just standing there, looking majestic. At that moment, and only at that moment, they possess a special beauty and dignity. Otherwise, when they make that awkward clucking/squawking noise, or when they deploy their stubby wings to glide clumsily at low altitude (I've never seen one fly high), they're some of the stupidest, most useless birds I can think of.
Probabilities are that any pheasant you see will be a male (M/F comparison here), loudly declaiming its desire to fuck. I used to think that springtime was their mating season, but male pheasants (a.k.a. COCK PHEASANTS!!) will squawk three out of four seasons of the year (and Korea has four seasons!*).

*This is a thing Koreans proudly say, but which most Americans find bizarre. Except maybe those Americans who live in Florida or the desert.
