Except for the Congo peafowl, all the other pheasants are from Asia. Scientists believe that all pheasants originated from the Himalayas, and then scattered in 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.
