Scientific classification;
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves

Subfamily: Phasianinae
Genus : Argusianus, Catreus, Chrysolophus, Crossoptilon, Ithaginis, Lophura, Phasianus, Polyplectron, Pucrasia, Rheinardia, Syrmaticus.
Pheasants are characterised by strong sexual dimorphism, males being highly decorated with bright colours and adornments such as wattles. Males are usually larger than females and have longer tails. Males play no part in rearing the young.
Pheasants eat mostly seeds, grains, roots, and berries, while in the summer they take advantage of insects, fresh green shoots, spiders, earthworms, and snails.
The best-known is the common pheasant, which is widespread throughout the world, in introduced feral populations and in farm operations. Various other pheasant species are popular in aviaries, such as the golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus).

Great video 👍 Thanks for sharing this
Thank you for making a video on the beautiful pheasant bird. However you have flicked through the subject so quickly that viewers could not comfortably read both the name and look at the picture. Everything passed by too quickly.

i think he only included those who are in the subfamily and not all birds called pheasant.
Your video is completely inaccurate, arguses, nartakees (also known as peacock pheasants), and koklasses are not considered pheasants, there are now officially just thirty-two extant pheasant species: the Northern Blood Pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus), the Southern Blood Pheasant (Ithaginis affinis), the Cheer Pheasant (Catreus wallichii), the Silver Pheasant (Euplocamus nycthemerus), the Kalij Pheasant (Euplocamus leucomelanos), the Edwards's Pheasant (Gennecus edwardsi), the Swinhoe's Pheasant (Gennecus swinhoii), the Salvadori's Pheasant (Tropicophasis inornatus), the Bulwer's Pheasant (Lobiophasis bulweri), the Tibetan Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon harmani), the Blue Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon auritum), the White Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon crossoptilon), the Brown Eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum), the Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi), the Laotian Fireback (Lophura laotiensis), the Malayan Crestless Fireback (Lophura erythrophthalma), the Sumatran Crestless Fireback (Lophura sumatrana), the Bornean Crestless Fireback (Lophura pyronota), the Malayan Crested Fireback (Lophura rufa), the Sumatran Crested Fireback (Lophura indonesica), the Bornean Crested Fireback (Lophura ignita), the Reeves's Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii), the Mrs. Hume's Pheasant (Calophasis humiae), the Elliot's Pheasant (Calophasis ellioti), the Mikado Pheasant (Nesophasis mikado), the Copper Pheasant (Graphephasianus soemmerringii), the Lady Amherst's Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae), the Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus), the Black-Breasted Pheasant (Phasianus elegans), the Black-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), the Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus), and the Green Pheasant (Phasianus versicolor), arguses, nartakees, and koklasses are not considered pheasants as they are not of the subfamily Phasianinae, nor do they belong to the Phasianidae family or Phasianoidea superfamily, arguses, nartakees, and koklasses are all classified within the superfamily Galloidea, where koklasses constitute the monotypic subfamily Pucrasiinae within the family Tetraonidae, which more closely relates koklasses to both grouse (subfamily Tetraoninae) and turkeys (subfamily Meleagridinae) than to true pheasants, while both arguses and nartakees are considered offshoots of the subfamily Pavoninae within the family Gallidae, which more closely relates both arguses and nartakees to chickens, shizurens, francolins, spurfowl, senlinaos, ropohons, jinegus, daoirens, peafowl, wajameras, rohutans, snowcocks, chungchis, alavoronas, and shabalrimals than to true pheasants, because arguses and nartakees are specifically part of the Pavoninae subfamily, arguses constitute the subtribe Argusianina within the the tribe Pavonini, which makes the peafowl (subtribe Pavonina) the closest living relatives of arguses, whereas nartakees constitute the genus Polyplectron within the tribe Polyplectronini, which groups them with the partridge-like wajameras (genus Haematortyx) and rohutans (subtribe Tropicoperdicina), the wajameras are the closest living relatives of nartakees and are classified with them under the subtribe Polyplectronina.
