Description

The golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) is one of the most visually stunning birds in the world, known for its flowing golden crest, vivid red underparts, and finely barred tail. Native to the forested mountains of western China, this bird prefers dense understory where it forages for seeds and insects. In Chinese culture, the golden pheasant symbolizes beauty and prosperity, often appearing in ancient art and imperial garments. This mount highlights its radiant posture and regal feathering—ideal for collections that honor nature’s most colorful creations.
