A male Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus) is centrally positioned within an outdoor aviary enclosure in Zia, Greece. The bird exhibits a bright red body, a golden-yellow crest, and a distinctive orange-and-black scaled pattern on its neck. It is perched on a horizontal tree branch on the left and rests against a thick, weathered tree stump or vertical wooden post on the right. Its long, dark-patterned tail feathers extend downward. Several branches, some bare and some with sparse green leaves, are visible in the foreground and midground. A metal mesh fence constitutes the immediate background, behind which blurred green and brown vegetation is discernible. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting subtle shadows.
