    Temmink's Tragopans did not appear to be on exhibit at Hemker Park & Zoo when I last visited.

    Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has a pheasant species in their Wolf Wilderness aviary. I am not sure what's in there now, but it was a Lady Amherst's pheasant and, before that, some sort of golden pheasant.
    Akron Zoo has Temminck's tragopan and, I believe, a ring-necked pheasant, too

    I believe Toledo may have Wild Turkeys in The Barnyard? I'm not TOO certain though as although they have the coloring of the wild variants, I believe domestics can also come in those same colors. However do correct me if I'm wrong about this.

    If they're placed in a barnyard setting I'd be skeptical; you're correct, domestics can have the wild coloration.

    Does anyone know which Crested Firebacks are present now that they have been split? Bornean ignita or Malayan rufa, specifically which is/was at Richmond Metro Zoo ( seen in 2021 bad pictures of head only thru fence)
