The Golden Pheasants are the most beautiful birds in the world. Their life span is about 5-6 years on their own. When they are under human care they may live upto 15-20 years.
They spent most of their time on the ground. They fly in short bursts and are clumsy. This is due to their short wings and long tails.
In China, Golden Pheasants are considered to be a sign of good luck.
Humans, dogs, cats and foxes are predators of Golden Pheasants.
They can be a good pet but they have to be kept in check as they are notorious and might try to fly away.
When Golden Pheasants are exposed to sunlight for a very long period of time, their intense colour might start to fade. Hence, a dense forest or undergrowth in the mountains are their habitat. They are mostly found in Western China.
Their diet consists of seeds, berries, insects, spiders, bamboo, etc.
