Like every other bird, pheasants have wings. But as you may already know, having wings does not confirm that a bird can fly. Now, does this apply to pheasants?
Pheasants can fly. However, they are more at ease on the ground, where they can readily forage for insects, seeds, grains, and much more.
Due to the high amount of energy that goes into their flights, pheasants typically only fly for about 2 km (1.24 miles) or less.
When just cruising, pheasants fly at a speed of around 38 to 48 mph. But when running from a predator or being chased, they can fly as fast as 60 mph.
