Not yet spotted on Fladder

Endemic to India, the Grey Junglefowl is a striking wild fowl, notable for the unique 'wax-like' spots on the male's neck and saddle feathers, giving it a distinctive appearance.

Where to spot

Primarily found in deciduous and evergreen forests, scrubland, and often near cultivated areas in peninsular India.

How to spot

Listen for their distinctive crow to locate them. Look for them foraging on the forest floor, often in small family groups. They can be shy, so quiet observation from a distance is best.

When to spot

Most active during the early morning and late afternoon when foraging, but can also be heard calling at other times of day.

Unlike other junglefowl, the Grey Junglefowl's crow ends abruptly, often described as 'cock-cock-cock-coc-KAAWWKK,' without the drawn-out final note of the Red Junglefowl, making it audibly distinct.
