The last person to leave was Dotty, who was clutching the silver pheasant.

Silver pheasants and partridges are found in large numbers, especially in the mountains.

Today all major authorities place the Silver Pheasant in Lophura.

There are 15 recognized subspecies of the Silver Pheasant.

The silver pheasant, with its long white tail striped with fine bars of black, has a brightly coloured face.

Both sexes have a bare red face and greyish legs (the latter separating it from the red-legged Silver Pheasant).

Silver Pheasant (Lophura nycthemera)

The Kalij Pheasant is closely related to the Silver Pheasant and the two are known to hybridize.

Like other pheasants, the Silver Pheasant was placed in the genus Phasianus when described by Linnaeus in 1758.

With these two as subspecies of the Kalij Pheasant, the Silver Pheasant has 15 subspecies.

Typical birds are: Little egret, wild geese, Common kingfisher, Mallard duck and Silver Pheasant.

Arms of the family Van der Goes: black three gold-silver horned goats heads, the crest a silver bokkenkop between two silver pheasant feathers.

They have greyish legs as in the Kalij Pheasant, but their plumage is closer to that of some subspecies of the Silver Pheasant.

One of the birds he discovered was the Imperial Pheasant, later found to be a hybrid between the Vietnamese Pheasant and the Silver Pheasant.

The species housed here include Indian peafowl, Bengal tiger, common pheasant, emu, lion, mute swan, nilgai, ostrich and silver pheasant among a few others.

Domestic fowl can be crossed, and produce fertile offspring, with Silver Pheasants, Red Junglefowl and Green Junglefowl.

Once considered a very rare species, the Imperial Pheasant is actually a naturally occurring hybrid between the Silver Pheasant and the Vietnamese Pheasant.

The park has endemic subspecies of Silver Pheasant (Lophura nycthemera beli) and Edwards's Pheasant (Lophura edwardsi).

Other birds include common pheasant, rose-ringed parakeet, ostrich, black swan, mute swan, silver pheasant, vulturine guineafowls, dalmatian pelican and many other types of water birds.

This rare bird was determined not to be a true species, but naturally occurring hybrids between the Edwards's Pheasant and the subspecies annamensis of the Silver Pheasant (L. nycthemera).

The placement of the taxa lineata and crawfurdi has been a matter of dispute, with some treating them as subspecies of the Kalij Pheasant and others as subspecies of the Silver Pheasant.
