Answer: Western Tragopon
Western Tragopan, a rarest pheasants, is the state bird of Himachal Pradesh.
It is found in temperate region of the Greater Himalaya, between Northwest Frontier Province in Pakistan and western Uttarakhand in India (Birdlife International 2001). Its world population size is precariously low, with much fewer than 5,000 individuals as per the estimate in early 1980s. This species is found in conifer and oak communities with sufficient undergrowth of bamboo and other dense vegetation. In Himachal Pradesh, this species is distributed widely in sizable populations in all three major catchments (Beas, Satluj and Ravi). It also serves as ‘flagship’ value on account of socio-cultural linkages with the traditional people.
In 2012, seven females of the species incubated the eggs naturally, which represents nearly 75% of the individuals of the captive population. It was the highest number of females incubating the eggs naturally till now. Seven chicks have been mother reared.
