Best Answer

Pheasants (virtually all varieties) originate in Asia. They were brought into the US to the Wilamett Valley in the 1880's. They were brought to the UK very early (by Marco Polo?), which is when it became the "food of Kings" as they were raised by the huntsmen employed by the monarchy.

The pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is native to India, and in other areas east of the Black Sea through to China, but has been introduced to other countries for the benefit of those individuals who like killing for fun.
