Just when you thought you could have five minutes without a new story about President-elect Donald Trump, a golden pheasant has become a minor celebrity in China for having very, er, topical, hair.

Five-year-old Little Red has been likened to Trump because of their similar blonde quiffs.

As you can see, the resemblance is uncanny:

Instead the award, which describes itself as seeking to \u2018draw attention to poorly written, perfunctory or redundant passages of sexual description in modern fiction\u2019, went to former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis

Little Red is a resident of the Hangzhou Safari Park in eastern China. Mr Gao, the bird’s keeper, told the Daily Mail he had been completely blind to Little Red's doppelganger.

I had not noticed the likeness in the past because I had not paid particular attention to the pheasant's hairstyle.

But after Trump was elected President of America, I start seeing more pictures of him and I think the pheasant looks a little bit like him.

The reason for Little Red’s big ‘do is because the feathers bring insulation in the colder months, according to Mr Gao.

No doubt if Trump was a bird, it would be the best, the greatest, most bird-like bird there ever was.

Although the comparison isn't quite as good as the time a dog rode the underground looking like former Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
