Pheasants are shy, charming birds known for their brilliant
plumage. These beautiful birds occupy an important niche
in nature’s scheme of things. Of the 900 bird species and
155 families, the pheasants belong to the order Galliformes
and family Phasinidae. The Galliformes are known as game
birds and this includes, pheasants, partridges, quails,
grouse, francolins, turkeys and megapodes.
There are 51 species of pheasants in the world and these
are shown in the identification chart brought out by the
Environment Society of India (ESI). The purpose of this chart

is to create awareness among members of the school eco-
clubs under the National Green Corps (NGC) of the Ministry

of Environment and Forests, Government of India.
Except for the Congo Peafowl, all the other pheasants
are from Asia. Scientists believe that all pheasants originated
from the Himalayas, and then scattered into Tibet, China,
Myanmar, South and South East Asian countries as well as
the Caucasus Mountains. The jungle fowl and the peafowl
spread to South India and Sri Lanka long before the early
settlers established themselves in the Indo-Gangetic plain.
About a third of all the pheasants in the world are found
in India. The male blue peafowl (the peacock) is the best
known member of the pheasant family and is India’s national
bird. It occupies a prominent place in India’s art, culture
and folklore.
