Items related to Extraordinary Pheasants
Fast on the feathers of his highly successful Extraordinary Chickens, Stephen Green-Armytage is back with a fascinating look at the stunningly ornate plumage and surprisingly expressive personalities of more than 70 different types of pheasants—peacocks included! Showcased in glorious full-color photographs are Long- tailed Mikados, Satyr Tragopans, Bornean Crested Firebacks—each looking more exotic than the next. A brief text offers an ideal introduction to the pheasant family and an annotated index of species follows the photos.
Serious birders will treasure this unique volume, but anyone familiar with the peacock's magnificent fan of iridescent tail feathers will be amazed and amused by the complex shapes, shadings, and patterns of its many exotic cousins—not to mention the peacocks bred in bronze, purple, green, brown, emerald, and even pure white!

About the Author:
Stephen Green-Armytage is the author and photographer of Abrams' popular Extraordinary Chickens and Dudley: The Little Terrier That Could. His work has appeared in numerous books and magazines, including Sports Illustrated, Life, Fortune, Smithsonian, and various European publications. He lives in New York City.
From Library Journal:
Photographer/author Green-Armytage here continues the photographic exploration of birds he began in his well-received Extraordinary Chickens. The domestic chicken actually originated from the Red Jungle Fowl, one of about 50 species, along with many subspecies and varieties, that make up the diverse, exotic, and mostly beautiful group of birds known as pheasants. The text consists of approximately 200 appealing full-color photographs, supplemented by a few pages of text on pheasant history and classification and brief descriptions of the species and varieties pictured. This volume could be described as a pheasant sampler for the general reader who would like to learn a little more about this group of birds and who also appreciates quality animal photography. There is no attempt to be comprehensive, but those familiar with only a few species and varieties beyond the Ringneck Pheasant and the Indian Blue Peafowl (peacock) will be pleased to discover many new and unusual birds, including the Tragopan, Koklass, Monal, Fireback, and Great Argus. Recommended for public libraries.
