Red Golden & Lady Amherst Ornamental Pheasants
Red Golden & Lady Amherst Pheasants originally were imported from mountain forest of China & Tibet. The beautiful Red Golden & Lady Amherst Pheasants are two of the most popular of all the Ornamental Pheasant species kept in captivity. They are very hardy and easy to keep. The Red Golden has been kept in captivity since as early as 1700 and perhaps was the first type of pheasant brought to North America.
Some historians say that George Washington may have kept them at Mt. Vernon. For being so well known and familiar in captivity, very little is known of their wild habits in the central mountains of China & Tibet. These species make up the group of pheasants called the Ruffed Pheasants, Genus Chrysolophus. They are named for their cape or ruff which they spread around their face and neck during courtship.
