Her normal cinnamon color takes on an exotic air when combined with pops of 24K gold and a fish scale treatment on her wings that hints at the pheasant's Asian origins. View Post

When Mother Nature awakens in the spring and restores the bird's sanctuary, the village knows the bird's lullabies will soon return as well. View Post
