The Golden Pheasant

10,000 Birds

But the looks of the adult male Golden Pheasant make it an attractive bird for animal parks, zoos, and similar places – for example, it has its own webpage at Seaworld and at a place called Marineland on the Cote D’Azur. I guess in China, there is always money for research related to Giant Pandas.
