Golden Pheasant

The first position on the list of the most beautiful birds in the world is the golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus), which is sometimes referred to as the Chinese pheasant, and the rainbow pheasant is a gamebird belonging to the family Phasianidae and the order Galliformes (gallinaceous birds). The word "painted" comes from the Latin word "pictus," which is derived from the Ancient Greek verb khrusolophos, which means "with golden crest."

The tail makes up two-thirds of the mature male's length, which ranges from 90 to 105 cm (35 to 41 in). It may be easily identified thanks to its golden crown, rump, and vivid red body. When the dark orange "cape" is extended out in display, it takes on the appearance of a black and orange fan that alternates, covering the entire face except from the bright yellow eye with a little black pupil.

They have a magnificent red-tipped golden-yellow crest. Their face and belly are both a vivid crimson color. Tan on the sides and throat that has aged. The upper back and wattle of the golden pheasant are green. They also have dark red shoulder feathers and a long, pale brown tail. Compared to female golden pheasants, males are smarter. Their red breasts and flanks help to identify them. Additionally, their middle tail feathers feature noticeable black patches on them. Compared to males, female pheasants have duller, more mottled brown feathers.
