The Edwards's Pheasant is a bird that one might think unattractive because of its dark color, impression quickly swept away by the discovery of its true nature and its extraordinary plumage made of metallic reflections going from the night blue to the deep emerald green.

It is a short-tailed forest bird, endemic to the tropical forests of Vietnam, a time considered extinct before rediscovering a few individuals in the center forests.

Father Renauld, a French missionary in Annam, discovered this species in 1895 in the mountains of the province of Quang Tri, about thirty kilometers northwest of Hue in Vietnam. He sent four naturalized specimens to the Paris Museum, according to which Oustalet made his description. Twenty-eight years passed before we hear about the pheasant again and no living specimens were imported until 1924 when Jean Delacour brought back 15 individuals of his first expedition to Indochina.

Unfortunately the Edwards's Pheasant is on the list of the 100 most endangered species in the world established by IUCN in 2012.
