Description
The red Junglefowl is actually the wild ancestor of the most abundant and probably most important bird species in the world—the chicken. It inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, including monsoon forests. It's a highly sociable species that lives in large groups, where the most impressive male gets the highest rank and usually has a harem of 4-5 females during the mating season.

Behavior
Red junglefowl regularly bathe in dust to keep the right balance of oil in their plumage. The dust absorbs extra oil and subsequently falls off. Flight in these birds is almost purely confined to reaching their roosting areas at sunset in trees or any other high and relatively safe places free from ground predators, and for escape from immediate danger through the day.
