GOLDEN PHEASANT 



Chrysolophus pictus (Linnaeus) 



Few white men have ever seen a Golden Pheasant in its wild home, for it haunts the deepest mountains 

 of Central China. No one has yet found its nest and eggs, yet in captivity it thrives and breeds freely, 

 and is one of the most beautiful birds, which any amateur can keep and rear easily.
