The "Pheasant family," scientifically known as Phasianidae, includes a variety of birds commonly found in grasslands, forests, and wetlands. This family encompasses species such as the common pheasant, peafowl, and quail. Pheasants are known for their colorful plumage and distinctive calls, making them popular among birdwatchers. Members of the pheasant family are typically ground-dwelling birds that prefer to forage for seeds, insects, and small plants. They are often characterized by their long tails and strong legs, which help them run quickly to escape predators. Many species are also known for their elaborate courtship displays during mating season.
