The pheasant family is distributed worldwide, with the exception of northern Asia, southern South America and the polar regions. The lengths are very different and range from 13 cm to 2 m. They all have round wings, short necks and short thick beaks. The plumage is often very conspicuously patterned and the sexes are mostly different. Most pheasants live on the ground, but some species sleep in trees.
