  1. I love the looks of these exotic pheasants. My only chance of seeing them is in the zoo, and there I often find them hard to photograph..never standing still. Nice shot! Posted 12 years ago

The Golden Pheasant or "Chinese Pheasant", is a gamebird of the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae. It is native to forests in mountainous areas of western China but feral populations have been established in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
