    What zoos currently keep the species?
    What zoos have kept the species?

    Does Blackbrook plan to get any of these birds? As they have so many pheasants, and their collection is continually growing. I'd love for them to get a pair.

    Do any private collections in the U.K keep Bulwer's pheasant?

    Any pictures or information will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Where can they be seen in the wild? As they are on my list of Fav. animals, so if I could, I'd love to see some wild birds.

    What are the chances of seeing wild birds?

    To find Bulwers pheasant on Borneo you should head to Danum Valley, probably the best place in the world to find it, and the only place in which I have seen it myself. There is probably places in which its more common but then you have to travel to areas deep inside Kalimantan and thats not the easiest thing.



    You also have a large possibility to get Helmeted Hornbill in Danum Valley:D, the only site on Borneo with regulary records of this species.
