Pheasants, or peahens, are a type of bird with showy mates. They are known for their colorful plumage and long tail feathers, which can be up to three feet in length. The males are usually more brightly colored than the females, and they have a loud call that can be heard from a distance. Peahens are found in many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and North America. They are omnivorous, eating both plants and small animals.
