The Lady Amherst's pheasant is one of two species known as ruffed pheasants (the Golden pheasant is the other). They are endemic to China as well as Burma and Tibet.

The cock Lady Amherst's Pheasant has a beautiful long tail and plumage of gorgeous contrasting colours which include dark metallic green and blue with red feathers on the head above a ruff of black and white. The belly and lower breast is white as is the tail which is heavily barred with black. The tail also has shorter protruding bright orange feathers (upper tail coverts). He has blue facial skin and grey legs and beak. Lady Amherst's Pheasants look extremely regal strutting about the aviary. They become fully coloured during their second year.
