Swinhoe's Pheasant

Swinhoe's pheasant (Lophura swinhoii), also known as the Taiwan blue pheasant,
is a bird of the pheasant subfamily in the fowl family Phasianidae. It is
endemic to Taiwan. Along with the Mikado pheasant and Taiwan blue magpie, two
other Taiwan endemics, Swinhoe's pheasant is sometimes considered an
unofficial national symbol for Taiwan, as it bears the colours of the national
flag (red, white, and blue). The male Swinhoe's pheasant can grow up to 79 cm.
He has a glossy blue-purple chest, belly, and rump, white nape, red wattles,
white tail feathers, and a white crest. The female is brown marked with
yellow, arrow-shaped spots and complex barring patterns, and has maroon outer
rectrices. The juvenile male is dark blue with brown and yellow patterns on
its wings. Swinhoe's pheasants can also be distinguished from the Mikado
pheasant by having red legs. During display, the male's wattles become
engorged and he performs a display consisting of a hop followed by running in
a circle around females. A frontal display with the tail fanned is
occasionally observed. He also does a wing-whirring display like other Lophura
pheasants. Swinhoe's pheasant is found in the mountains of central Taiwan,
where it lives in primary broadleaf forest up to 2,300 m in elevation.
Swinhoe's pheasant eats seeds, fruits, and some insects and other animal
matter. Predators include the crested goshawk, white-bellied sea eagle,
Gurney's eagle, spot-bellied eagle-owl, and the civet and badger.
