To date, about 30 subspecies or geographic forms of the common pheasant are known, and many of them have long been considered independent species. However, all of them cross successfully with each other and produce prolific offspring. Interspecies hybrids of unknown origin obtained in the course of artificial breeding (pheasant farms have been known in Europe since the 14th century) gave rise to European, American, Australian and a number of other secondary populations of pheasants; therefore, birds from these populations have no subspecies affiliation and pass under the conventional name "hunting pheasant".

БАБИНЕ ЛІТО

Літо бабине, бабине літо…
Серце чує осінні путі…
Хтось заплутав зажурені віти
в павутиння нитки золоті.

Листя слухає вітру зітхання
і згортає свої прапори.
На покірну красу умирання
сонце дивиться сумно згори…

В'януть, в'януть вуста пурпурові…
Але радість і в осені є!
В золоте павутиння любові
ти заплутала серце моє.
