Birds » Wild Birds » Chicken - Green Jungle Fowl Main Page The Green or Javan Junglefowl is a rare bird, which is being increasingly bred in captivity as its genetic diversity is disappearing. The Green Junglefowl is often hunted or captured from the wild and kept as a pet due to its unusual call and its incredible beauty, as well as its importance in fathering Bekisars, the mascot-bird of the East Java Province. The Green Junglefowl is sexually mature at two years of age and the male courts the female by doing a sort of dance. www.centralpets.com /animals/birds/wild_birds/wbd4317.html   (774 words)

Red Junglefowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Red Junglefowl, or Indian Red Junglefowl, (Gallus gallus), a tropical member of the Pheasant family, is the direct ancestor of the domestic chicken. Males are much larger; they have large red fleshy wattles on the head and long, bright gold and bronze feathers forming a "shawl" or "cape" over the back of the bird from the neck to the lower back. The other three members of the genus, Sri Lanka Junglefowl Gallus lafayetii, Grey Junglefowl Gallus sonneratii and the Green Junglefowl Gallus varius do not produce fertile hybrids with the Red Junglefowl Gallus gallus, suggesting that it is the sole ancestor of the domestic chicken. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Red_Junglefowl   (469 words)

Junglefowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia These are large birds, with colourful male plumage, but are nevertheless difficult to see in the dense vegetation they inhabit. The junglefowl are seed-eaters, but insects 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Junglefowl   (148 words)

domestication   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Crosses of all junglefowl have been documented, and amongst the F1, some males are fertile when bred back to red junglefowl or red junglefowl MtDNA domestics. It is often claimed that it has been conclusively proven that all domestic junglefowl (Gallus gallus domestic or chickens) descend from red junglefowl only and specifically red junglefowl from south China in particular. In fact, it seems to be the red junglefowl or rjf MtDNA descended domestica female parent that is the key to hybridizing amongst the four species of junglefowl, so it would then only stand to reason that rjf would be the female line of domestica. www.longtailfowl.com /domestication.html   (767 words)

In both sexes of the green peafowl the wing coverts are glossed with bright iridescent blue and blue-green. The green birds have a purplish cast to the tail coverts, a wider ‘pinkish’ ring toward the outside of the ‘eye’ and a wider flish ring inside of the pinkish circle. members.cox.net /kjw6311/ReadMountainPheasantry   (1373 words)

PROTOCHICKEN One hundred and nineteen birds representing 26 domestic breeds, 30 green junglefowl, and 14 subspecies of red junglefowl were studied. Using these techniques, the research team was able to eliminate all but a single subspecies of red junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus) native to Thailand as the ancestor to all subsequent breeds of the domesticated chicken. Moreover, this data indicates that the chicken is a notable exception to the general rule that the domestication of a species results in the extinction of its wild ancestor, the researchers note. www.accessexcellence.org /WN/SUA04/protochicken.html   (351 words)

Green Junglefowl Green Junglefowl inhabit coastal regions and semiarid cliff habitat near estuaries where they forage in mangrove swamps, along beaches, in rice paddies and deep inside subterranean sea caves. Green Junglefowl are particularly vulnerable to Marek's disease, mycoplasma, pseudomonas and a host of other ailments that attack the digestive tract and leave the birds paralyzed. Green Junglefowl should be kept in tall aviaries with multiple layers of wall, loftlike structures and plenty of climbing space. www.feathersite.com /Poultry/NDG/BRKGreenJF.html   (1088 words)

Green Junglefowl, Gallus varius The comb is light blue at the bottom near the head and purplish-red elsewhere; there is only on throat lappet or wattle that is colored the same, but with the blue on the outside edges and a yellow patch nearest to the throat. The overall plumage is metallic green and fl with patterns on the neck and nape of lighter green and blue; the wings coverts are covered with bronze hackles. It is believed that residents of the less populated areas of Java capture and breed Green Junglefowl with their own domestic fowl. www.gbwf.org /pheasants/junglefowl_green.html   (473 words)

GREEN JUNGLEFOWL PHOTO: KENNETH W. Again with a typical barnyard-fowl configuration, the Green Junglefowl is nevertheless a most striking bird with lovely metallic, greeny-fl feathering on the cock bird, set off by a comb which is green near the head passing to mauvish-purple and red on the outer edges. The Green Junglefowl is the most delicate of the junglefowl and they require some heat in winter. They are found only on Java where the local people greatly prize the "Bekisar," an infertile hybrid between the Green Junglefowl cock and a domestic hen, for "singing" contests. www.pheasantclub.org /green.htm   (169 words)

Bird Biographies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) The forehead is buffy, the supercilium is whitish and indistinct, and the crown and nape are brown with a green or blue wash. The throat and breast are buffy with occasional lilac feathers and white streaks which are broader and more diffuse than in the adult. Red Junglefowl are said to differ from their domestic counterparts by being highly monogomous in the wild. Red Junglefowl are also considered by some to be the single most important avian species in human history; due to their domestication by man. Chickens and their eggs have become instrumental to the survival of man since before recorded history, and were probably domesticated in Southeast Asia before 2500 B.C.. www.naturalencounters.com /abby4d.html   (4577 words)

One Subspecies of the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus) Suffices as the Matriarchic Ancestor of all Domestic Breeds -- Fumihito et al. Unlike its close ally Gallus varius (green junglefowl), the red junglefowl Gallus gallus is a genetically very diverse species; the 7.0% sequence divergence was seen between those from Thailand (G. g. gallus of Thailand, thus indicating a single domestication event in the area inhabited by this subspecies of the red junglefowl as the origin of all domestic breeds. www.pnas.org /cgi/content/abstract/91/26/12505   (438 words)

sumatra The Sumatra today is a nice layer of white or tinted eggs; if one fancies small, pheasant type birds, it can even be used as a meat fowl, although the dark pigment might be a detracting point. What is the breed's chief strong point is its beautiful, lustrous fl plumage, shining with a really intense beetle green sheen. The head has an intelligent, wild-bird appearance; a small pea comb, tiny or no wattles, a large chocolate brown eye, and facial skin the color of a ripe fl plum. shahbazinanatolianshepherds.com /sumatra.htm   (410 words)

RAV-O cDNA were detected at high levels (greater than 80% homology(only in the genomes of the domestic chicken and its phylogenetic ancestor, the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus).
