The Mikado pheasant is endemic to mountainous regions of Taiwan. The species occupies dense shrubs, bamboo growth and grassy terrain with coniferoverstory in central and southern Taiwan, from 2000 to 3200 meters above sea level.

Another vocalization is a higher-pitched "ko, ko, ko," typically produced during the mating season or when they sense ne...

Mikado pheasants build their nests mainly with dead branches, fallen leaves, dry grass and feathers in tree holes or depressions under rocks. Females usually lay three to eight creamy-colored eggs at one time and it is they who are solely responsible for the incubation of the eggs (w...
