Golden and Silver Pheasant
It is Friday, #featheredfriday, hosted by @melinda010100.
Today my post is about pheasants and in particular golden and silver pheasants.
I took the photos in Varna zoo when I visited in the summer.
To start with the golden pheasant, whicn some also called Chinese pheasant or rainbow pheasant.
This gorgeous coloured bird is male with golden crest. It is easy to be recognized by its colours.
Golden pheasant nests on trees but most of the time stays on the ground. In the zoo the pheasant share the cage with other chicken.
To be honest with you I did not look for female pheasant and I took photo only of the male.
Interesting to know that despite its colourful appearence, the bird is hard to spot in the wild.
Next photos are of silver pheasant.
Again the photos are of male bird. Relativile big bird, the male is black and white with red face.
Silver pheasant does not fly often and like the golden one stays mostly on the ground.
Silver pheasant originates from China and it was introduced in Europe in 15th century.
Both pheasants are beautiful and attractive, but my favourate is the golden one. It catches the eye instantly with the rich colours.
I wish you lovely day!
Thank you for visiting.

Pheasants are very attractive birds indeed.
Thank you for stopping by. :-)
Howdy nelinoeva! That is the most colorful bird I've ever seen, that top one! Wow, totally amazing!
Hi janton, glad you stop by. :-)
Yes, it is a beauty,isn't it? If I would have a big garden, there will be place for birds and pheasants for sure.
Howdy nelinoeva! Can regular people have those magnificent pheasants or are they rare and only zoos can have them? I think that would be marvelous! You guys will have a larger property someday right?
People can have pheasants like any other chicken. I hope to have a house one day with big garden. 😀
Me too nelinoeva, that's what I wish for you too and you will have alot more posting material to use to with animals and gardens to show! Especially if you have those beautiful pheasants! lol.
