The white-crowned pheasant, also known as the white-crowned pheasant or white-crowned pheasant, is a small bird belonging to the family Phasianidae. They live mainly in forests and grasslands in East Asia, including China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East.


The white pheasant has a unique feather color, with a white head, dark brown neck and back, and black and white stripes on its wings and tail. Males have obvious seasonal variation, with head feathers appearing black in summer and white in winter. The white pheasant has a gray beak and brown eyes.


The White Pheasant is a gregarious bird that usually lives in forests with many tree species. They are omnivorous and feed on plant seeds, fruits, insects and small invertebrates. During breeding, male birds display beautiful plumage to attract females, who build simple nests and lay one or two eggs. The incubation period is 21-22 days, and after birth, the chicks are cared for by both the male and female birds.


The white pheasant is a protected bird and is included in the national second-level protected animal list in China. They are usually shy and difficult to detect by humans, so when observing white pheasants in the wild, you need to pay attention to keeping quiet and keeping a distance.
