Yes, rare in the wild - a mountain species of central and southern China. This is a male bird.

This particular bird is extremely washed out for the colors. I wonder if they are fooling around with a selection program. The wild bird is much more colorful.

Chrysolophus pictus (Golden Pheasant).

Hi Goldy,
A nice capture of this beautiful pheasant. Although in cage. Sorry I don't like shooting caged creatures. And I think the face is a little blur. But again on second thought, this is a bird that I have never seen or have seen in some zoo but not remember. Excellent composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi goldy,

Good shot of this bird but the BG are poor!
Sharpnes and colors are good.
I think is a goldphesant.


Regards Gert

Hi Goldy, it is a Golden Pheasant, some have more red colours and very bright, but it is an uncommon bird. The background is very blue and I think this makes it...not so colourful, but nice to see!!regards h

What an amazing species you bring to us in this image Goldy. The tail is phenomenal, sad to see him caged though. Thank you for sharing Goldy.
