monaul

/ ˈmɒnɔːl /

noun

A Monaul pheasant, or some similar splendid bird is found in the snows of Kaffiristan, all I have seen of it are a few feathers.

The female Monaul is going on well, though obliged to be crammed, for though it takes water voluntarily it will not take food.

In the highest ranges the snow-cocks, the tragopans, the blood-pheasant, and the glorious monaul or Impeyan pheasant abound.
