They occur in [[India]], [[Sri Lanka]] and Southeast Asia. These are large birds, with colourful male plumage. They are difficult to see in the dense vegetation they live in. The junglefowl are seed-eaters, but [[insect]]s are also taken, particularly by the young birds. One of the species in this genus, the [[Red Junglefowl]], is of historical importance as the likely ancestor of the domesticated [[chicken]]. {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Phasianidae]] [[Category:Birds of Asia]]
