Temminck’s Tragopan likes to inhabit the widespread forests of northern South Asia.

In the wild Temminck’s tragopan natural diet consists largely of berries, grass, and plants. In captivity, they are fed pheasant pellets to eat as well as fruit and berries and a small number of grains.

The birds will breed in their second year and the hen will start to lay in April. Usually, 2 – 4 eggs are laid in a clutch and up to 12 eggs in a season. Incubation is normally 28 days.

Widespread and a common species throughout its large habitat range, the Temminck’s tragopan is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
