Partridges, Old World Quail, Junglefowl, Francolins, and Peafowl in North American Zoos

southwick's zoo and roger williams have indian blue peafowl, southwicks even has at least one white peafowl
 
San Antonio Zoo had a Rothschild(Mountain) Peacock Pheasant and Palawan Peacock Pheasant when I went in 2019, not sure if they still have them. Fort Worth Zoo also had Green Peafowl when I went this summer
 
Are pheasants in general not so common in zoos? They seem like they would be relatively popular given how colorful the males are and how many are likely easy to keep.

Pheasants in general are extremely common in zoos. They are particularly common outside the AZA but are not uncommon within the AZA, either.

Golden, Lady Amherst, Silver, Chinese Blue Quail, and Indian Peafowl seem to be some of the most common. Different tragopans, junglefowl, eared, and various Lophura and Syrmaticus are all around to varying degrees of commonality. New World quails, Green Peafowl, and grouse are all available as well, with some of the quails being most common.

New world grouse seem like they would be a good choice. Pheasants in general are pretty low-key and colorful.

A little snotty of a response don't you think? What I mean is New World grouse would ve easy to exhibit and that pheasants are also probably easy to exhibit and they are colorful. Therefore, a good choice for exhibit all around.

I had no idea what you were referring to, either, until you just now clarified.
