PhotoFeed Contest - Wildlife Photography Round 111~Jungle Fowl
Hello Hivers...
Junglefowl is a common name for wild chicken species that live in the forest. Junglefowl are the ancestors of local chickens. These chickens are very similar in body shape and behavior to domestic chickens, because they are the ancestors of domestic chickens. Males and females have different body shapes, colors, and sizes (sexual dimorphism). Male junglefowl have colorful and beautiful feathers, unlike females which tend to be monotonous and dull in color. The body size of junglefowl tends to be smaller compared to other chickens, their movements are also relatively faster than chickens in general, this is because the nature of junglefowl is still original according to the wild surrounding conditions.

In Indonesia, jungle fowl have important ecological and cultural values. They are often important objects in local mythology and beliefs, and are an important target for traditional hunters. Although their population is threatened by hunting and loss of their natural habitat, conservation efforts are being made to ensure the survival of this valuable species.
Important Note: I wrote in Indonesian, then translated it using Google Translate.
