		The Junglefowl are a group of four species of bird in the pheasant family which occur in India, Sri Lanka and south east Asia.
		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.

	Red Junglefowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), a tropical member of the Pheasant family, is the direct ancestor of the domestic chicken.
		It was first raised in captivity at least 5,000 years ago in southern Asia, and the domesticated form has been taken all around the world as a very productive food source for both meat and eggs, which some breeds have been specifically developed to produce.
		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, proving it to be the sole ancestor of the domestic chicken.

	Red Junglefowl (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Once chickens were domesticated and distributed by humans across southern Asia the stage was set for genes from domestic village chickens to begin to "pollute" the remaining populations of their wild ancestor through hybridization.
		A number of characteristics have been taken to indicate clean or pure Red Junglefowl; presence of an "eclipse" plumage in the males, absence of a comb and wattles in the female, slender dark legs, tail posture, call characteristics, and a generally wild and wary behavior.
		Most all of the red junglefowl from the original group are banded, microchipped, studbook listed, and registered with the International Species Information System (ISIS), the organization that maintains registration records and pedigrees for wild species in most of the world's zoos.

		The Ceylon junglefowl is distributed throughout Sri Lanka, wherever jungle or dense scrub of any extent is to be found, but it is nowadays common only in the wilder parts of the dry zone.
		The Junglefowl feeds on grain, weed-seeds, berries, various succulent leaves and buds and a large proportion of small animals, such as crickets, centipedes and termites: the latter form the main food of the chicks.
		The Ceylon Junglefowl is an endemic bird of Sri Lanka and has the distinction of being the National Bird of the country.

	Are Rooster Crows Honest Signals of Fighting Ability?
		We did not measure amplitude be- cause of the variation in recording distances (record- ing distance is unlikely to affect relative measures such as which frequency has the highest amplitude, but comparisons of absolute amplitudes of different individuals could be affected).
		Junglefowl crows may be crudely indic- ative of phenotypic quality, whereas comb quality is a more precise indicator of current condition.
		The preliminary results that we re- port suggest that resource-holding potential is ac- curately indicated by the dominant frequency of rooster crow vocalizations, despite the low metabolic expense of crowing.

		The Green or Javan Junglefowl is a rare bird, which is being increasingly bred in captivity as its genetic diversity is disappearing.
		The hackles on the Javan Junglefowl?s rump are dark green with edges of yellow, and the tail is held low.
		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.

	PROTOCHICKEN
		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.
		However, the red junglefowl was not native to that arid region of China, suggesting an older heritage in a more tropical area.
		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.

	The Red Junglefowl of the Philippines--Native or Introduced?
		It is conceivable that the junglefowl might have spread through the entire archipelago and visibly differentiated in three thousand years, but it seems unlikely.
		Tom Harrisson, Curator of the Sarawak Museum, informs me (letter of 23 December 1961) that he feels that the absence from Borneo of the junglefowl is actually circumstantial evidence for the natural colonization of the Philippines, as he cannot believe that man would have introduced the species to the Philippines and not to Borneo.
		Comparison of series of Philippine junglefowl with those from the mainland in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History and the Peabody Museum of Yale University (through the courtesy of Dean Amadon and Philip S. Humphrey, respectively) indicates that the former are, indeed, separable from Gallus g.

	Grey Junglefowl
		The Grey Junglefowl, Gallus sonneratti, is native to evergreen hill forest in southern and western India.
		Grey Junglefowl will perch as high as possible so make certain the roosts are a good distance from the ceiling where owls or raccoons might attempt to destroy the sleeping birds and pull them through the wire.
		Grey Junglefowl are hardy when compared to most species of junglefowl but must be kept in draft proof winter shelters with dense layers of dry straw and wood shavings.

	CHARACTERIZATION OF THE GENETIC STATUS OF POPULATIONS OF RED JUNGLEFOWL
		The native range of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent has been the focus of studies of domestication of this species that became the foundation of a worldwide multi-billion dollar poultry industry.
		Although red junglefowl are considered abundant both in captivity and in the wild, and have usually not been accorded any particular conservation concern, almost all populations show morphological characteristics suggestive of past hybridization with domestic birds, and indeed pure genomes may prove to be now extinct in the wild.
		These captive birds may thus represent the last pure red junglefowl genomes, This paper establishes criteria for the judgement of genetic purity, in the hope that colleagues across southern Asia will assess local wild populations to develop an accurate picture of the genetic status of this species across its range.

	Conservation of the Red Junglefowl
		This material suggested to me that birds showing these same morphological criteria of pure wild stock (e.g., a lack of comb in the females) are also apparently quite rare in the wild and may have indeed been so since before the turn of the century.
		I personally feel that molecular genetic profiles of both wild and captive Red Junglefowl populations are currently in order, and could provide important information for the genetic "screening" of populations of this species.
		In some cases, in fact, DNA profiles of Red Junglefowl have been based on material from zoo populations whose genetic purity and freedom from hybridization, on the basis of the birds' behavior alone, would seem to me to be open to question.

		In the wilds of India the junglefowl population has experienced the occasional crossing of ‘domestic village fowl’ and the wild form has become less widespread.
		The same is true in captivity with so-called ‘red junglefowl’ being anything from domestic-wild hybrids to mixed bantam fowl with the wild type color pattern.
		In the junglefowls, the long ornamental hackles are replaced by short flish feathering for a few months in late summer/fall.
