You will love it!!
Carl Linnaeus gave the great argus its specific name (from which its common name and genus name are derived) because of the intricate eye-like patterns on its wings, in reference to Argus, a hundred-eyed giant in Greek mythology. There are two subspecies recognized: Nominate argus of the Malay peninsula and Sumatra, and A. a. grayi of Borneo. William Beebe considered the two races to be distinct species, but they have since been lumped.
The great argus is a brown-plumaged pheasant with a blue head and neck, rufous red upper breast, black hair-like feathers on the crown and nape, and red legs. The male is one of the largest of all pheasants, measuring 160-200 cm (63-79 in) in total length, including a tail of 105-143 cm (41-56 in), and weighing 2.04-2.72 kg (4.5-6.0 lb).[5] Males have very long tail feathers and huge, broad and greatly elongated secondary wing feathers decorated with large eyespots. Young males develop their adult plumage in their third year.[6] Females are smaller and duller than males, with shorter tails and fewer eyespots. They measure 72-76 cm (28-30 in) in total length, including a tail of 30-36 cm (12-14 in), and weighs 1.59-1.7 kg (3.5-3.7 lb).[5]

“She already has two babies. I don’t know what he’s doing. You’ve already done your duty!” Mr. Pheasant is keeping the romance alive. No matter how long you’ve been together or how many kids you have, it’s always the right time to dress up in your finest feathers and go on a hot date!
