Exotic Runaway (Male Swinhoe Pheasant)

Neighbours alerted me this AM that an unusual fowl has been hanging around the last 3-4 days.
Got some pics,ID'd,info and food for it. It's a native of Taiwan and endangered there in the wild but bred and raised domestically with great success.
Must have escaped from near-by farm. Hope to find owner or rescuer soon.
