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.

The adult male is unmistakable in his colourful plumage. Golden pheasants spend most of the day on the ground whilst at night they tend to roost high up in trees. Probably the best way to view these beautiful birds is visit them in a zoo or aviary where it is alleged, they adapt to captivity very well.
