Golden pheasant, also known as Chinese pheasant.
Fact from Animal Corner: Golden Pheasants are very timid birds and will hide in dark, dense forests and woodlands during the day and roost in very high trees during the night. Golden Pheasants often forage on the ground despite their ability to fly, this may be because they are quite clumsy in flight. However, if they are startled, they are capable of taking off in a sudden fast upward motion with a distinctive wing sound.Little is known about their behaviour in the wild as although the males are very colorful birds, they are difficult to spot. The best time to possibly observe a Golden Pheasant is very early in the morning when they may be seen in clearings.

The Creature Awaits #161:
Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry.  Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )
Welcome to "Antique Gold Animals" month, where we'll be featuring animals of said beautiful hue.

The Golden Pheasant
A.K.A: The Chinese Pheasant, The Rainbow Pheasant
Scientific Name: Chrysolophus pictus
Region: Native to Western China, but feral populations have spread to Europe, the Americas and Australia
Size: Males are about 35"-41" (~90cm-105cm) long, whereas females are only about 24"-31" (~60cm-80cm) long, primarily due to their shorter tail
Interesting Notes: This beautiful bird's binomial name combines the genus, Chrysolophus, taken from the Greek "khrusolophos," meaning "with golden crest" - calling to the almost helmet-like crown, and the Latin word "pictus," meaning "painted" - referring to the Hand-painted look of its gorgeous markings.

James Hong, The Main Man
Chances are, if you've watched movies in the last seven decades, you’ve seen or heard Minneapolis native James Hong. With over 650 film and television credits, he is one of the most prolific actors of all time. His latest accomplishment is a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for the film Everything Everywhere All at Once, which was released on March 25, 2022. The film also garnered 7 Oscars from 11 nominations at this year’s Academy Awards, which Hong attended wearing a bowtie with googly eyes—a nod to the film. In 2022, at age 93, he became the oldest person to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
James Hong was born in Minneapolis to Chinese immigrants in February, 1929. His father, Frank W. Hong, managed the Golden Pheasant, one of the first Chinese restaurants in the city (it opened in 1919 next to the more famous Nankin, which opened the same year). The Hong family later owned a business in what some considered to be Minneapolis’s Chinatown. Sent away to Hong Kong for elementary school, James returned to Minneapolis for middle school, where he had to re-learn English. He attended the old Bryant Junior High and then Central High School, where he graduated in 1947.
Learn more about the Hong family and Minneapolis’s Chinatown in this MinnPost article from 2015.
If you enjoyed Everything Everywhere All at Once, or are waiting in the queue for the DVD, check out more books and films featuring the writers, actors, and directors of this Oscar-winning film.

Hawthorne Poultry: The Specialties
Welcome to part four aka part two of part three of the poultry headcanon! Once again, thank you to the lovely @hathorneheiress for sharing her expertise on chickens in her posts of this headcanon series and her contributions to this collaboration. It's been lovely working with you and tossing ideas back and forth.
Nash: Given that he's a bit of an old fashioned guy, this man really just opted for turkeys. He used to raise Bourbon Red but then turned his efforts to the Royal Palm breed. Some are still around in a small flock, his old show birds, but it was getting to the point the workload was too much and he didn't want to be in that anymore. However, because he is still most comfortable with chickens, he has been experimenting with raising the ancestral species they come from; the Red Junglefowl. Nash wanted to give them more of the natural habitat they'd be used to so he set up an area of the greenhouse where they could in a humid environment with plants and food that they would normally encounter. So far, they have been doing well and he's been a successful breeder with every generation further along. One time, when he was ten, in a rare, once-in-a-lifetime moment in the documented history of the Hawthorne family did the old man and him have a genuine bonding time when his grandfather planned a surprise for Nan and Zara by unveiling a new section in the garden from his annual additions to the estate with a gorgeous pond with aquatic plants and light up fountains. He wanted to add some nice birds and to help with that, Nash suggested swans and so Tobias bought a pair of Mute Swans. Zara and Nan were delighted. The swans regularly have cygnets that can be seen on the property roaming during spring and summer. In recent times, now that Nash got engaged to Libby, he wanted to get something special for her and Avery told him that she loves birds, peacocks being near and dear to her. So, some new additions to the estate include Green Peafowl, Spalding (Indian x Green Peafowl), and Congo Peafowl. With their beautiful plumage, they're quite the sight to see when strolling in the gardens and are great companions when one has ice cream in hand. Libby loves them and Nash got her peachicks to raise herself as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Grayson: He prefers pheasants and raises three species; the Ring-Necked, Golden, and Lady Amhurst's. That is, until he fell in love with Silver Pheasants which are just as majestic. Gray always loved their colorful feathers as a child, collecting them and making feather crowns. He'd run around and play King of the Forest with Jameson and Xander sometimes. The Lady Amhurst's Pheasant is his favorite and at times, when he needed a distraction or a time out from everything, he would take one of the birds and just pet them. Somehow, he never had strugglers, they always liked sitting on his lap and would peck at him if he stopped petting them so of course he would have to start again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jameson: His biggest investment and love of birds lies with ducks. His grandfather got him his first set of Indian Runners when he was a kid and the ducklings loved following him around. Eventually, his collection of ducks grew when Nash found an old Muscovy female with a bad leg abandoned at a rundown poultry farm. Strangely enough since Xander was the one who usually connected with the rescues most, it was rather odd when it was Jameson instead that became attached to the duck. She loved him too and would happily vocalize whenever she heard his voice or saw him coming. He named her Martha but he likes to call her Smarties or Marty. Dramatic Xan likes calling her Martine in a ridiculous French accent or Martini. After that, their grandfather got a few additional ones to stay on the property. To this day, she’s still around with the Muscovy Bunch as the brothers call them and Avery loves her, too. Jameson also shares a Chinese goose pair with his younger brother that are the first attempt at Hawthorne guard geese. He owns the male that he named Boris and though the male goose didn’t respond to his mate at first because he was a bit shy, he soon became really protective of her and their goslings. One of Jameson’s newer projects, inspired by Nash, is owning Ocellated Turkeys, very brightly colored birds. He and Avery are teaming up to explore this uncommon choice of poultry for raising alternatives to see if there are any advantages and unexplored benefits compared to the industry's current standards. It is one of their newest exploits in the agriculture expanse of research they're funding under Avery. He also personally owns a few emus as pets. When he was a toddler, one of his favorite shows was Elmo's World so when he got his first and his aunt tried to get him to say emu, he said Elmo instead. Elmo is his oldest male in the flock and still running the joint. Also, he loves Australia and so after one visit there, he wanted a part of it to always be with him because he couldn't live there since everybody forbade him (he and Max are basically besties because they have no self preservation since who the heck wants to live in one of the SCARIEST places on Earth where there are literally some of most venomous species of spiders and snakes, the largest crocs, and sharks???????????????; they probably went on vacay together at one point and Avery and Xander were praying for them every other moment they were there). He also hates ostriches with a passion. Probably from that one time where he got chased as a kid and one singled him out constantly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Xander: He has the best of them all; an ostrich! There's one female that he accidentally imprinted on when she was hatching and of course, he was given the very hard task of being a single father at the very young, unfortunate age of five. Day one, he came back to his room sweating and fell asleep on the floor with a very happy ostrich chick running around him. It was a great day in memories for the photo albums. Xan named her Shea Butter because, of course, five-year-olds think everything is a great name. She is now a third time parent but even though she is still a part of the bigger flock belonging to his grandfather, Shea is considered a pet. She acts like a very big dog that sometimes has to be reprimanded (the Cowpalooza of 2010 is a testament to that but more on that later). Xander decided that one ostrich is already enough work but enjoys their smaller distant cousins known as rheas. He has a trio and yes, they all are named after Pokémon counterparts (it wasn't just a phase, he said, and still stands by them); Dodrio, Doduo, and Staraptor (that last one is debatable). Two are females and one is a male. They are also pets but Xander does love a good rhea egg salad (surprising, I know) occasionally. As said before, he and Jameson share a goose pair and he has ownership of the female who he calls Honkette (not his best naming according to Jamie). She is the fiercer of the two and scares away anything and anyone (even Xander at times if she accidentally mistakes him for another; he cries in his room after these great betrayals). The only person she does trust around the babies is Xan, though. Now, Xander is the pigeon expert in the family and the only one that tolerates the cooing buggers (Nash and Jameson both have... grudges to say the least; that trip to Venice was not a good one). Grayson is the only one that has expressed interest in breeding them and he loves the ones with feathered legs (Xander is surprised it took him so long but it finally happened). He breeds Indian Fantails-they were his introductory birds to fancy pigeon breeding-Oriental and Parlor Rollers, and his absolute favorite; Homing Pigeons! He mostly got into these guys because he loves the history surrounding them: espionage, mail and wartime message carriers, and their cool ability of being able to find home with a magnetic component in their beaks that gives them this capability. He has been trying to use them here and there to spy on his brothers from the outside; his brothers sometimes have said they felt eyes on them from somewhere outside and a curious cooing of a pigeon.

Storm Hawks Bird OC Challenge - August 2023
Hello everyone! August is here, and that means it’s time for another bird! This month we’re looking at the golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus)!
Tumblr media
This brightly-coloured game bird is also known as the Chinese pheasant or rainbow pheasant. Its genus name comes from Ancient Greek for “golden crest” and the species name is Latin for “painted”. Native to forested, mountainous areas of China, the bird also has feral populations across Europe, Australia and the Americas. Females are less showy, with mottled brown plumage for camouflage, and the tail feathers on the males often make up a third of their body length. In captivity it’s possible to find colour mutations such as cinnamon mahogany and silver.
The deadline this month is Saturday the 26th of August. As always, rules and an extra colour palette are available under the cut. And due to the possible mutations that can be found, I’ll hopefully be putting out more palettes over the next week or so, provided I can find pictures.
Minimum requirements for drawn entries to be put in the winner’s vote are a name, occupation, the character’s home/birth Terra and at least one paragraph (or about 100 words) of written backstory.
Minimum requirements for written (i.e. written dossiers without art, or mini-fics for the character) are 500 words including backstory and appearance. Feel free to make a mini-fic out of this challenge, I’ll make sure to link it with the final collage as well.
Entrants who are part of the Storm Hawks discord server will have the chance of getting a custom role for the next month! If you’re not part of the discord server, please ask for an invite if you’re interested.
You’re not expected to create a character from scratch for this challenge. If you’ve got an older character concept that’s been collecting dust or that you’d like to take the opportunity to revamp, feel free! The goal of this challenge is to inspire people.
Collaborations are allowed! Same rules apply, the only addition is that you and your partner(s) just need to make note of who was responsible for what part of the character
Make sure to tag me in your entries and also DM me with a link to your entry. Tumblr is not always reliable about notifications for this sort of thing, and I don’t want to risk missing anyone’s entries, so better safe than sorry.
The group collage of entries, and the winner’s vote are opt-in. Participation of those parts of this challenge are not mandatory.
The winner of the vote will receive a free sketch piece of their character from me.

Emperor Huizong of Song (Chinese) • Golden Pheasant and Cotton Rose Flowers with Butterflies (gongbi painting) • 11th century
The name "gongbi" is from the Chinese "gong jin", meaning 'tidy' (meticulous brush craftsmanship). The gongbi technique uses highly detailed brushstrokes that delimits details very precisely and without independent or expressive variation.

If you were able to have a small flock of chickens (3-10), what breed or breeds of chickens would you pick? 🐔
You just opened a flood gate that I've literally been thinking of for decades. Strap in babe!
First of all: They wouldn't all by chickens; I want a flock of mixed fowl. It's been my dream for as long as I can remember. But if I'm limited to 10 as my max, this is the breakdown I'd go for to start, with the full intent on using them to breed me more:
3 Chicken (1 Ameraucana Hen, 1 Brahma Rooster, and 1 Egyptian Fayoumi Hen);
A Chinese Goose Pair (2);
A Golden Pheasant Pair (2);
3 Prairie Chickens (there's a conservation effort that allows you to hatch eggs for breeding and release)
