Summary

[edit]
Description And yet another species of bird I'd not seen before: this is the Crested Fireback. However, this is the female, with her rather dull colouration. The male was one hell of a handsome fella, with bright plumage, but he either kepd coming too close, and hence disappearing under the field of view, or moving too far away, to the other end of the cage. The irritating cross netting (seen blurred in the foreground) was no help either. The Crested Fireback (Lophura ignita) is a medium-sized, up to 70 cm long, forest pheasant with a peacock-like dark crest, bluish black plumage, reddish brown rump, black outer tail feathers, red iris and bare blue facial skin. The female is a brown bird with short crest, blue facial skin and spotted black-and-white below. The diet consists mainly of plants, fruits and small animals. The female usually lays between four to eight creamy white eggs.Due to ongoing habitat loss and over-hunting in some areas, the Crested Fireback is evaluated as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
