The golden pheasant is a gamebird of the order Galliformes. Males have a golden-yellow crest with a hint of red at the tip. The face, throat, chin, and the sides of neck are rusty tan. The wattles and orbital skin are both yellow in colour, and the ruff or cape is light orange. The upper back is green and the rest of the back and rump is golden-yellow. A very regal bird, who considers itself the king of all birds, rivaling the peacock. Very royal.
