Temminck’s Tragopan Pheasant (Asia) – Orange EyeCandy

(India, China). Snapped @ Sylvan Heights Bird Park, Scotland Neck, NC

This bird personifies a basic fact of birdie life: if the colors suggest “pimp,” it’s a dude. The dudettes sport sedate coloring, Nature’s hide you protection from predators. If you think the coloring qualifies as mesmerizing, check out the video for Temmy’s rap, i.e. courtship display.
