President-elect Donald Trump may be willing to start a trade war with Beijing, but his political ascension has been as much a source of mirth in China as disquiet. The latest exhibit: A local journalist in the eastern city of Hangzhou noticed that a golden pheasant in Hangzhou Safari Park had plumage on its head that was remarkably similar to Trump’s blond coif. Pictures of the bird — a 5-year-old known as “Little Red” — soon went viral on Chinese social media.
A golden pheasant has become a star in China because people think he has the same hairstyle as Donald Trump. Pictures of the animal became widely shared today on Chinese media after a journalist from Hangzhou took a picture of the male bird and pointed out the ‘striking similarity’ between him and the US President-elect.

Bird at China’s Hangzhou Safari Park in Zhejiang province has suddenly risen to fame after people noticed a striking similarity between the President-elect and a five-year-old male winged wonder, Little Red. With golden ‘crown’ (read hair) a red pheasant has become a star in China as people think he has the same hairstyle as Donald Trump.
Mr Gao works for Hangzhou Safari Park in eastern China, where the five-year-old bird lives. He said the pheasant was called ‘Little Red’ because of his extremely red feathers. The bird is more colourful than the other pheasants because he is very healthy, according to Mr Gao who looks after around 50 pheasants in the park.
The popularity of the bird has been drawing more crowds than ever. According to local reports, the bird has become famous and many tourists have been flocking at the zoo enclosure to see the ‘Trumpbird’. The pheasants are indigenous to the mountains of central China and are very extremely exotic. The multi-coloured bird with golden crest and vibrant red body has an elongated tail.

Although golden pheasants can be found in many parts of the world today, the birds are native to China and are a protected animal species in the country.
