Note-Making

q. Read the passage carefully and

answer the questions that follow:

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, patridges, 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 to 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.
