Hello Dorothy -
      I never heard the name "red golden pheasants" - amy references I =
have found have been simply "golden pheasants".   One or two pictures do =
show what appears to be red on their chest, so I suspect it is the same =
bird. If I run into one of the fellows from Cape Island I will ask them =
about the birds. I have a hunch they all know about them, but for some =
reason don't want to say much about them.

Roland.

  Hi Roland:

  A number of years ago, there were quite a few bird fanciers on CSI.  =
If you mean Red Golden Pheasants, there were a number of them around.  I =
had a pair during that same time, and it wasn't illegal to keep them. My =
pair nested but weren't good about sitting on the eggs, and I eventually =
sold them.  They were certainly beautiful.

       I have heard a report that says there are two golden pheasants - =
probably male and female - wandering around on Cape Sable Island. I =
think the birds are native of China, and I think it is illegal to keep =
them in NS. I believe the birds are often found in apiaras and places =
were numbers of rare birds are kept.  Can anyone enlighten me about =
golden pheasants in general and the birds on Cape Island in particular.

  Roland.
