GROUND BIRD 1/16 - Red Junglefowl

Red Junglefowl


Red Junglefowl are wild birds which can be found even in suburbs like Petaling Jaya This one was taken at the open ground along Sprint highway across Kiara next to Universiti Malaya.

The bird is 2 feet in length and can fly short distances. Adapted for hunting in open ground at forest edges and undergrowth Very vigilant and territorial. Notice the white ear patch. This is gallus male in its full colorful splendor............

Their habitat is shrinking.... with the privatisation of housing development in MU it will be sad that you need to go further out to see them.
