Bulwer's wattled pheasant

Oasis, Pairi Daiza, 24th October 2019
Lophura bulweri. One of the males at Pairi Daiza is disabled with a damaged leg: this is the other one which had unfortunately moulted all its tail feathers - but it did show its wattles nicely, although they can be much enlarged when the bird displays.
 
@gentle lemur They have recently apparently operated on the other one's leg and given him a prothsetic one(I think) There's a short video of it from PD's website. He looked very unfit when I was there in comparison to the displaying one.
