Beneficial Birds and Golden Pheasant

Beneficial birds are birds that are helpful because they catch and feed on harmful insects, thus proving a valuable ally in agriculture and animal husbandry. They come in different species, depending on the environment and habitat.

The Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) is a gamebird of the order Galliformes (gallinaceous birds) and the family Phasianidae. They are native to western China but have been widely introduced elsewhere, and have established a self-supporting feral population in England.
