Chrysolophus pictus, commonly known as the golden pheasant, is a brightly colored bird native to the forests of China. Males are particularly striking, featuring vibrant yellow, red, and green plumage, while females are more subdued in color, primarily brown and tan. This sexual dimorphism helps males attract mates during the breeding season. Golden pheasants are ground-dwelling birds that prefer to forage for seeds, fruits, and insects. They are known for their long, flowing tail feathers and can reach lengths of up to 39 inches. These birds are often kept in captivity for ornamental purposes due to their stunning appearance.
