== Ecology ==

=== Song and call ===
Male birds have a wing-whirring sound. Their alarm call is a low guttural "uk uk uk uk uk", sometimes a hard "puk puk puk puk puk".<ref name=":1" />

=== Diet ===
Edward's pheasants have rarely been observed in the wild, so little is known about its behavior in its natural habitat.

An Edwards's pheasant at [[Denver Zoo]]’s diet consists of mealworms, chopped fruit, and greens, specially formulated game bird diet.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jake the Edwards's Pheasant |url=https://denverzoo.org/jake/ |access-date=2022-10-24 |website=Denver Zoo |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Reproduction ===
Edward's pheasants usually breed between the months of March and May. Males push their chests, vibrate their wings, and erect the feathers on their backs to find their mate. Females can begin to breed after two years, while their maximum fertility is usually around ages 4-5.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=About Vietnam Pheasant |url=https://vietnampheasant.org/about-vietnam-pheasant.html |access-date=2022-10-24 |website=vietnampheasant.org}}</ref> On average, females lay between 4-7 eggs each time. The females make the nests well hidden and dug into the group, usually with plant debris and bamboo overtop.<ref name=":2" /> The female incubates eggs for around 20-22 days. However, the male remains stationed close to guard the bird. The eggs are round and have a faint pink color with dotted cream spots. Juveniles are primarily chestnut-brown.<ref name=":1" />
