The golden pheasant, also known as the Chinese pheasant, and the colorful rainbow pheasant is at Sylvan Heights Bird Park. In Chinese culture, the golden pheasant is considered the ancestor of the phoenix and represents auspiciousness. In the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the robes of high-ranked bureaucrats were emblazoned with images of the golden pheasant as a symbol of their power and authority.
