The Golden Pheasants or Chinese Pheasants (Chrysolophus pictus) are native forest species in the western Chinese mountain region. These birds spend most of their time on the ground looking for food in the form of seeds, leaves and small animals such as insects, larvae, earthworms, snails and spiders.
The male Phoenix bird has bright feathers and a gold-colored head. The body part is a combination of dark green, blue, purple and the rest is golden red. The tail is black with gold spots like a spark. While Phoenix females have a dark brown color and golden brown.
They are very careful and shy, so it is very difficult to get the perfect picture from these birds. Although they can fly in short distances, they prefer to run, but if surprised they can suddenly fly up at high speed and emit a distinctive wing sound.
These birds are rare because they are often caught by hunters for sale on the black market. Some people will buy it as a pet because they believe that this bird will bring good luck. Red Phoenix birds are included in the list of endangered animals.
