A big reason that we call them pests is that they have the same Genus as Red Deer and they can breed to make red/sika hybrids. This isn't really that bad bar the fact that the red stag herds are shrinking as they are losing actual red deer. This manages to lower the population of Red Deer by breeding with them which sounds really quite counterintuitive.
Actually, the genus Cervus contains only five extant species, the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), the Corsican Deer (Cervus corsicanus), the Barbary Deer (Cervus barbarus), the Central Asian Deer (Cervus hanglu), and Elk (Cervus canadensis), the Thorold's Deer (Przewalskium albirostris) and Sika Deer (Ocellelaphus nippon) are no longer part of this genus, the Thorold's Deer (Przewalskium albirostris) is more closely related to the Père David's Deer (Elaphurus davidianus) than to any species of the genus Cervus, however all these three genera (Cervus, Przewalskium, and Elaphurus) belong to the subtribe Cervina, which belongs to the tribe Cervini, which is divided into two subtribes Rusina (contains 2 genera: Rusa and Rucervus) and Cervina (contains 3 genera: Cervus, Przewalskium, and Elaphurus)), the Sika Deer (Ocellelaphus nippon) is not a member of the tribe Cervini, it is more closely related to the chitals (genus Axis) and hog deer (genus Hyelaphus), therefore the sika deer is a member of the subtribe Axidina, which actually belongs to the tribe Megalocerotini, which even includes the fallow deer (genus Dama), which are the only living representatives of the subtribe Damina.

Do female sika make any noise to indicate they are ready to mate
