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.

Signs and Spotting tips: In the wild these hardy birds are easiest to spot during their feeding in the early morning. They are shy and tend to hide within dense forest areas. Their long tails and relatively short wings mean that they are not renowned for their flying capabilities and in fact, prefer to run away from trouble as opposed to taking to the wing.
