1337banna: So this is what Leo looks like when hes molting. I took these pictures after he had a bath, so you can see the pin feathers better. Red Golden pheasant males like Leo have a ‘cape’ of feathers that they extend when in display. In order to do this they have special muscles and thicker feathers. So when they are grown in they are beautiful, but when they molt it looks rather disturbing. Also included a pic of after he was dry as a reference. -- source link
