Lady Amherst's Pheasant is a striking bird native to China and Burma. It is known for its vibrant plumage, featuring a long, ornate tail and a mix of colors, including gold, black, and white. The male is particularly colorful, while the female is more subdued in appearance, which helps her blend into her surroundings. This species prefers forested habitats and is often found in mountainous regions. Lady Amherst's Pheasant is named after Sarah Amherst, the wife of a British governor, who first introduced the bird to Europe in the 19th century. It is popular in aviculture due to its beauty and unique appearance.
