Table 2. Ethogram of display behaviours characteristic of dominance collected while pheasants were housed in both the SG and the PD conditions.

Lateral strut Male lowers head and flattens one wing toward receiver, primaries may touch the ground while erecting ear tufts and inflating wattle. Tail is spread. Sometimes the display is accompanied with vibration of the tail to create audible sound.
Crow Loud, sudden two-syllable call. Followed by a brief and loud wing flap (Heinz & Gysel, 1970; Cramp & Simmons, 1980)
