Spotted
The wild ancestor of all domestic chickens, the Red Junglefowl is a vibrant bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. Males exhibit brilliant plumage and a striking red comb and wattles.
Where to spot
Dense forests, forest edges, and scrubland across a wide range in South and Southeast Asia, from India to Indonesia and southern China.
How to spot
Listen for their characteristic crowing, which is similar to a domestic rooster. Look for them foraging on the forest floor, often in small groups. Be patient and quiet, as they can be shy.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk when foraging; can be seen throughout the day in undisturbed areas.
