🐔Common Pheasant
Le Faisan de Colchide (Phasianus colchicus), faisan à collier ou faisan de chasse, est une espèce d'oiseaux galliformes de la famille des Phasianidae originaire d'Asie occidentale et introduit en Europe dès le Moyen Âge. C'est le plus commun des faisans en Europe, et si ce terme est utilisé seul, c'est à cette espèce que l'on fait probablement référence. Il est chassé comme gibier et élevé pour sa chair. Seules certaines variétés sont considérées comme domestiques. Le faisan ou la poule faisane est un animal suffisamment proche de la poule et du coq domestiques pour produire des hybrides (appelés coquards), mais ceux-ci sont stériles.
