		The Cheer Pheasant, Catreus wallichi, also known as Wallich's Pheasant, is an endangered species of the Pheasant family, Phasianidae, and is the only species in the genus Catreus (Cabanis, 1851).
		These birds lack the color and brillance of most pheasants, with buffy gray plumage and long gray crests.
		The cheer pheasant population was censused in April 1979 (Gaston and Joginder Singh, 1980) and March 1983 (Garson, 1983).

		Thirty-two of these birds were released by fostering to adults or by a combination of fostering and hacking; the remainder were released solely by hacking.
		Captive birds must be maintained in good health to prevent the introduction of diseases, pathogens, or parasites to wild bird populations upon their release.
		Young birds from those sources were used in 1979 to experimentally supplement a natural breeding population which was nearly non-existent in the vicinity of the Canvasback introduction.

	WORLDTWITCH - Nepal Birding Trip Report by Barry Wright, March 2001
		Fantastic views of two birds in the ravine at Phulchowki that were flushed in the morning and pursued by Laughingthrushes thus enabling the birds to be located a few times sitting high in the trees being mobbed.
		Three birds seen fishing along the forested river at Birethante on the Jomsom trek were certainly one of the star birds of the trip.
		Despite calling this bird was very difficult to locate to begin with until eventually excellent views were obtained at Ghasa in the dense bamboo on the east slope and two birds on Poon Hill and on the ridge trail at Ghorepani.

		The numbers of this bird were gradually decimated, until it almost, but vanished in 1976, when the last male bird was shot from the Margalla Hills, Islamabad.
		The Cheer population was quite comfortable until the beginning of the 20th century, thereafter it fell prey to the shooting and hunting instincts of man. Also, in the a mid 60’s; large-scale construction and development work was commenced at the base of the Margalla Hills, to establish the new Capital.
		Pre-Release Pen at Jabri It is very necessary that the birds, prior to their release in wild, are accustomed to the environment and climate of the particular region, in which they are to be released.

		“Catreus wallichi” for the zoologists, the bird is found only in the western Himalayas from north Pakistan to Nepal.
		It was important as in absence of a nest the eggs in captivity were laid all over the place and the birds showed no interest in brooding and as a result, breeding was not successful.
		The birds could be later released in the wild to stock their natural habitat.
