“The Impeyan pheasant is an example in point : adapted for regions where the temperature is at the most only moderate, and often at a low degree, this noble bird soon dies when taken from its alpine home into the burning lowlands of India; and hence arises one of the difficulties in the way of our obtaining living specimens in Europe.”
“Fig. 13.3.[…]Impeyan pheasants (Lophophorus impejanus)(c) bow low before the hen, then peck vigorously.”
