Kalij Pheasant is J&K’s new official bird; Hangul remains State animal

Srinagar, Oct 21: The administration of Jammu and Kashmir has adopted Kalij Pheasant as the state bird of J&K.

Commissioner secretary, Forests, Environment and Ecology, Sanjeev Verma confirmed that Kalij Pheasant (Lophura leucomelanos) has been adopted as state bird.

“J&K had to adopt new bird as UT bird because black-necked cranes are only found in Ladakh,” he said.

Erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state had the black-necked crane and Kashmir stag (Hangul) as its state bird and animal respectively.

After reorganization of J&K, Ladakh adopted black-necked crane as its official bird.

Verma said Hangul would continue to remain as state animal of Jammu & Kashmir.
