Lady Amherst’s Pheasants (Chrysolophus amherstiae) are renowned for their striking, highly colorful plumage—featuring red, blue, green, and yellow feathers—and extremely long, striped tails that can grow over 80 cm, making males one of the most ornamental bird species. Native to southwest China and northern Myanmar, they are known for being elusive, ground-dwelling birds that prefer running over flying.
Lady Amherst’s pheasant is a bird of the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae. The genus name is from Ancient Greek khrusolophos, “with golden crest”. The English name and amherstiae commemorates Sarah Amherst, who was responsible for sending the first specimen of the bird to London in 1828.
