Chinese pheasants get royal treatment in Hubei

Residents of Baiguotan village in Jianshi county, Hubei province, are volunteering to protect the Golden pheasant, a bird with beautiful feathers and striking colors.

In deep mountains 1,200 meters above sea level, a variety of birds are national second-class protected wild animals. Among them, the Golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) — also known as the Chinese pheasant — is the most famous.
