Meet the Golden Pheasant – The Shy Bird That Hides Its Beauty (13 Pics)

Golden Pheasants are shy birds that are difficult to find. They hide in thick woodlands and ran away from disturbance. But when they are found, their beauty is stunning to behold. Red-and-gold males are stunning and unmistakable.

Other areas of the world where they can be seen, albeit in much smaller numbers, are Australasia, Continental Europe and North and South America. Small feral populations favour coniferous forests and they are frequently found in aviaries and zoos.
