it is a natural self defense mechanism of the ring-necked pheasant to change color according to the season .

The bird sheds its feathers after each season and grow new feathers with different colors so that it could camouflage with the new surroundings to protect it from predators. However this phenomenon may not take place if the bird is taken to another place with different climatic conditions as it may be able to camouflage itself in the new surroundings without changing color.
