	Sri Lanka Junglefowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sri Lanka Junglefowl, Gallus lafayetii, is a member of the pheasant family which is endemic to Sri Lanka.
		It is a close relative of the Indian Red Junglefowl, Gallus gallus, the wild junglefowl from which the chicken was domesticated.
		Singhalese Junglefowl are unique amongst the junglefowl in the brevity of their incubation which may be as short as twenty days as contrasted with the 21-26 dqays of the Green Junglefowl.

	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.
		Current research testing the genetic integrity of this species across its natural range appears to prove that the pure form is quite rare and may even be extinct, only represented in the wild by birds with various degrees of back crossing with domestic selections (breeds) of the species.
		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.

	Junglefowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		Horton Plains National Park, 32 kilometers from Nuwara Eliya, is in stark contrast to Sri Lanka's other parks because it is situated at an altitude of 2,100 metres, the island's highest tableland.
		However, the most awesome physical feature of the Horton Plains - and perhaps the whole of Sri Lanka - is the escarpment at the edge of the plateau that falls 880 metres to the lowlands of the southern region of the island.
		This is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as a glade in the jungle-covered mountainous districts of Sri Lanka, usually with sloping sides.

		With 33 unique birds Sri Lanka is no exception and we'll hope to encounter them all during our visit, something we've accomplished on a number of previous tours.
		The ground-dwelling Sri Lanka Junglefowl require stealth and sharp eyes whereas roving flocks of Ashy-headed Laughingthrush and Ceylon Rufous Babblers are much more obliging.
