Golden pheasant

$100.00

Golden pheasants are primarily known for the striking, vibrant, and multicolored plumage of the males, which features a golden-yellow crest, red underparts, and a long, striped tail. Native to mountainous forests in China, they are famous for their incredibly shy, elusive nature, and intense courtship displays where they fan their, black-and-orange cape-like ruffs to create a “shield”.
