Pheasants originated in China and East Asia, but found homes in many parts of the world, including North America. The male of the species is a colorful fellow with a green head, red face, and white rings all down his neck. With all those looks, it’s no surprise Mr. Pheasant has a harem of 7-10 ladies following him around during the mating season. So you can associate the male Pheasant with flirtation, fertility, colorfulness, and comeliness.

Males create a territory for themselves and their harem. He will defend it against any rivals. What he does NOT do, however, is help with incubating eggs. Apparently, the task is women’s work in the Pheasant world.

Pheasant Symbolism & Meaning

Pheasants are “ok” fliers, launching themselves in times of fear but only for a short distance. Their take-off is noisy, followed by a landing. Afterward, the Pheasants of both genders run for cover. No matter how gorgeous the bird, predators can rip everything apart. Since Pheasant enjoys being on the ground eating berries, seeds, and grains the bird has associations with both the Air and Earth element.

In their role as symbols of the Air Element, you can turn your thoughts to the energies of dreams, higher awareness, and personal aspiration. But the best-laid plans for anyone include a cornerstone. Here is where Earth’s grounding comes into play.

Keen eyesight and hearing come to bear with Pheasants, correlating spiritually with Clairvoyance and Clairaudience. Both attributes are essential to Pheasant’s survival.

Speaking of durable, Pheasants can live without food for several days. Physical abilities like his sustain the birds in cold weather months since Pheasants do not migrate. They dig down into their roost and stay put, content at home.
