Also in every issue of the Gazette magazine are detailed "how to" articles and super pictures on the raising and marketing of the ringneck pheasant, as well as the different exotic species of pheasant like the Golden pheasant. There is also information on pheasant conservation and on releasing and stocking pheasants for hunting which is hugely popular in many countries around the world.
In the magazine appeared a fascinating interview with wildlife biologist, John Carroll (includes picture on page 2 of 
John with pheasant cock taken by Peter Frey, University of Georgia Communications).
Gorgeous Golden Pheasants
The Golden Pheasant is unsurpassed among pheasants in its brilliance, beauty, and desirability. This pheasant was first brought to Europe at least by the 18th Century, a
nd George Washington was the first American known to have kept and raised Golden Pheasants, which he did at Mt. Vernon. This gorgeous pheasant has easy care requirements and breeds readily on the game farm. Shows at right are a group of golden pheasant (three males and a female), with the males courting and displaying for the favor of a female! Considering their great beauty, the Golden Phesant is very affordable and always available for sale in the Game Bird Gazette magazine classified ads.
The Chinese have recognized the golden pheasant for centuries in art, literature and mythology. Others have claimed that the pheasant is the Phoenix of Greek mythology 
("History," Liv. 10 Caput 2. p. 5), which is a bird fabled to have lived for 500 years. The pheasants had a cyclical life, and at the end of each half millennium they supposedly burned themselves to ashes and then arose in renewed beauty and immortality. Whatever its actual role has been, few people would question that this pheasant is among the most intriguing creatures ever to enliven and 
beautify the earth.
