Zarn Pheasant

The Zarn Pheasant was found wild in the woods on the edge of the Zard Hills many generations ago until relatively recently when they where hunted to near extension because they became a delicacy among some and and a staple food source for others. In addition the feathers became part of flamboyant head dresses by the rich in some parts. At some point it was decided by a farmer to bread them and sell them a good price because of the rarity. A few more farmers bought into this at difference successes. The birds also became part of the festival of ....... in Abervinzard where they where relished on one of the days in build up to the festival.
