Description

This pheasant is native to Pakistan, India, Nepal, Tibet and eastward to mainland China. It is found in coniferous and mixed forests with steep terrain, down to 1600 m in winter (in Pakistan), and as high as treeline at 3000–4000 m in spring, although at the latter season it is recorded as low as 1350 m in Hubei (China). It favors areas with dense bamboo and under-story, e.g. of rhododendron, although it has been recorded in forests heavily grazed by goats. It prefers to roost in trees. While the species as a whole is not threatened, but several of its subspecies are to due habitat fragmentation caused by human development. It feeds on a variety of seeds, including acorns, berries and buds; also insects and worms. The male is shown in this render in "Display", a pose to attract females. Rendered in Iray with out any postwork. . Models include Stonemason's "Through the Woods" and my Songbird ReMix Gamebirds2
