What is the average weight of pheasant?

The average weight of a pheasant can vary depending on the species and sex of the bird. For example, the common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) has an average weight of around 1.2-2.2 kg (2.6-4.8 lbs), with males typically being larger than females. The ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus torquatus), a subspecies of the common pheasant, also has a similar average weight. However, other pheasant species, such as the golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus), can weigh up to 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs), while the silver pheasant (Lophura nycthemera) can weigh up to 2.7 kg (6 lbs).
