The Reeves's Pheasant, Syrmaticus reevesii, is endemic to the evergreen forests of central and east China. They have been introduced to Hawaii, USA, Czech Republic, France and the United Kingdom, where they have built up small breeding populations, and are still released on a small scale for shooting.They are hardy birds and their call consists of a musical warble. Due to ongoing habitat lost, and over hunting for food and its tail plumes, the Reeves's Pheasant is evaluated as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. There are thought to be only around 2000 birds remaining in the wild, although they are fairly common in aviculture. The name commemorates the English naturalist John R. Reeves.
