Red junglefowl

The red junglefowl is a wild bird that looks a lot like a farm chicken, because it's the bird chickens were originally bred from. It lives in warm, wooded areas across Southeast Asia and parts of South Asia, scratching for food just like its domestic relatives do.

• Males have bright red combs and iridescent feathers to attract mates.
• They forage on the ground for seeds, insects, and small animals.
• Wild junglefowl can still interbreed with domestic chickens today.
