(Syrmaticus Reevesii) A native of central China,now very rare in the wild.This is a cock Reeves's Pheasant,his tail could grow to 8 feet long and this spectacular breed is in the
Guinness world records in 2008 for the longest natural tail feather of any bird species.Unfortunately these Pheasants have been hunted for feathers and food to near extinction .Deforestation, hunters and egg collectors have caused its demise. This is a very exciting experience to have encountered this rare and beautiful bird in the wild.
