Silver Pheasant

Lophura nyctherma

Description:

This bird walks like a chicken. It has a speckled back with a multitude of feathers. As well as some blue and red coloring around its face. I believe it may be someone's pet that they let loose.

Habitat:

It has been seen in many places around the island. The island is a very wooded place and it seems to be comfortable hiding under anything it can find.

Notes:

Returned to our backyard multiple times, even after being scared away by my dog. It vanished after two days.
