Red Junglefowl

The red junglefowl is a tropical bird native to South and Southeast Asia and the wild ancestor of the domestic chicken, making it arguably one of the most significant birds to humanity. The male's vivid red comb, metallic green-black tail, and gold and orange plumage are the visual template from which domestic chicken breeds were derived. It inhabits the edges of forests and scrub, foraging on the ground for seeds, insects, and small reptiles.
