A Must watch - Rare wild Danphe / Himalayan Monal | Most Beautiful Colourful bird from the Himalayas
During a few treks in Kanchenjunga National Park, Sikkim and Kedarnath Musk-Deer Wildlife Sanctuary, Uttarakhand. I came across one of the most beautiful pheasant the Himalayan Monal (another one Indian Peacock) became one of favourite bird in the Himalayas. My first video documentation of Himalayan Monal which involved sub-zero temperatures, quite a few treks with 18-20kg backpack, & bad weather. A must watch - don't miss the best video of male Monal between 4-6 mnts.
The Himalayan Monal - National bird of Nepal, locally known as Danphe; And state bird of Uttarakhand, India, locally known as Monal.
The Himalayan Monal is a large-sized pheasant. Notable features in the male include a long, metallic green crest, coppery feathers on the back and neck, and a prominent white rump that is most visible when the bird is in flight. The tail feathers of the male are uniformly rufous, becoming darker towards the tips, whereas the lower tail coverts of females are white, barred with black and red. The female has a prominent white patch on the throat and a white strip on the tail.
This beautiful bird mostly lives at an elevation of 9000 - 14000 ft. They may climb down to lower elevations during winter. Found mostly in the Himalayan hill forest with extensive rhododendron and bamboo-dominated understory. Decked out in all the colors of the rainbow, The male is the image of iridescence; green crested head, red neck, green shoulders, blue back, orange tail & black underparts. The male is a very shy bird and mostly keeps distance & avoids a good sight except if accepts one as not-a-threat. Female is with a pale blue eye patch, white throat, and streaky brown body. Found in Himalayan hill forest, typically in areas with extensive rhododendron and bamboo-dominated understory.
Mostly seen on foraging on roots of the plants on the exposed rock surfaces, and at times on tree with moss covered branches. Also they dig through the snow patches to obtain plant roots and invertebrate prey. When on tree, they keep idle without any movements in case of human activities below.
The species is threatened due to poaching, & Human disturbances due to various development activities. The primary poaching threat is due to the beautiful crest which is valuable for Humans.

Your description is incorrect, monals are not pheasants.

[@TrulyWildVideos]

They are pheasants indeed; other name is Impeyan pheasant.

[@indyreno2933]

Actually, monals are not pheasants, neither are tragopans, the word "pheasant" refers only to the subfamily Phasianinae and there are just thirty-two extant species of pheasant: the Southern Blood Pheasant (Ithaginis affinis), the Northern Blood Pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus), the Cheer Pheasant (Catreus wallichii), the Kalij Pheasant (Euplocamus leucomelanos), the Silver Pheasant (Euplocamus nycthemerus), the Edwards's Pheasant (Gennecus edwardsi), the Swinhoe's Pheasant (Gennecus swinhoii), the Salvadori's Pheasant (Tropicophasis inornatus), the Bulwer's Pheasant (Lobiophasis bulweri), the Tibetan Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon harmani), the Blue Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon auritum), the White Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon crossoptilon), the Brown Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum), the Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi), the Laotian Fireback (Lophura laotiensis), the Malayan Crestless Fireback (Lophura erythrophthalma), the Sumatran Crestless Fireback (Lophura sumatrana), the Bornean Crestless Fireback (Lophura pyronota), the Malayan Crested Fireback (Lophura rufa), the Sumatran Crested Fireback (Lophura indonesica), the Bornean Crested Fireback (Lophura ignita), the Reeves's Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii), the Mrs Hume's Pheasant (Calophasis humiae), the Elliot's Pheasant (Calophasis ellioti), the Mikado Pheasant (Nesophasis mikado), the Copper Pheasant (Graphephasianus soemmerringii), the Lady Amherst's Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae), the Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus), the Black-Breasted Pheasant (Phasianus elegans), the Black-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), the Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus), and the Green Pheasant (Phasianus versicolor), monals (genus Lophophorus) and tragopans (genus Tragopan) both belong to the subfamily Lophophorinae, which also contains the partridge-like yejakuns (genus Tetraophasis) and quail-like sonakebaters (genus Chrysortyx), which are what monals and tragopans are respectively more closely related to than monals and tragopans are to pheasants.
