Yes, he is still around, the golden pheasant was seen flying down near the bottom of Kaiuru Ave.
Pheasants fly very low and for only a very short distance but there is not mistaking the long flowing tail.
It is believed that this bird was originally kept by people on the Omori Road, who had a variety of different birds and animals. The birds would be released from their cages during the day and housed again at night when they were fed, only this adventurous pheasant took off to explore the countryside. It is quite amazing that he has survived for several years.
