I know, … to most of us, it’s a Pheasant, … but I’m doing a bit of research and I’d like to know Who is (was) Lady Amherst ???

Thanx!

I wasn’t able to find anymore than this with a quick search on “who is Lady Amherst”.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Lady_Amherst%27s_pheasant

And that ain’t much more than we could have surmised.

I googled Lady Amherst and found nothing more than Bill did.
