Impeyan Pheasant
Locally known as dafai, or the bird of nine colors, this is the national bird of Nepal and is found in the high altitudes of the Himalayas
, inhabiting the rocky crags and gorges up near the tree line. Winters are brutal and they typically forage in small groups digging for tubers on the icey slopes. When the sun shines, the reflection off the matalic feathers of males blends in with the ice and they are perfectly camofloged.

Tying with Impeyan Pheasant Feathers
Classically, Impeyan feathers have been used on the Bronze Pirate. Specifically, the copper colored nape feathers make up the body veilings and the crest feathers are used for part of the wing. However, for the artistic/creative tier there’s a whole lot more feathers to utilize.
The green iridescent pointed feathers below the nape can be used for sides, cheeks, body veilings, tail veilings, etc. The wings are covered with a lot of blue chrome feathers that can be used just about everywhere for the same uses as above. The back and wing coverts are of a bluish-purple color and make great full feather wing flies.
There are hardly any feathers on this bird that a creative mind could find a use for. That goes as well for the crafter looking for some outrageous colored feathers for that special project.
The female Impeyan tail feathers make a great Gled Kite sub. The Gled Kite is a protected species being a bird of prey. Although not often used for this purpose, the tail fibers can be use in married wings.
***The Impeyan Pheasant is a CITIES listed species. I can not send any feathers out of the US. Sorry, only available to US customers!
