Ailao Mountains Series | Ep. 6: Red junglefowl

In Ailao Mountains, southwest China's Yunnan Province, the valley of the tropical monsoon forest remains silent in the afternoon. A series of clucks breaks the silence. It is tea time for red junglefowl. Watch the video to learn more about the species.

Wow this is interesting

The last bit showing the crew crossing the stream while carrying their equipment makes me appreciate the amount of time and effort needed to create a nature film. Thank you!

So they are basically some fancy chickens

[@bradycall1889]

Yes they are wild chickens that aren't domesticated, basically

[@erikm8372]

The zoo where I live has them…as pest control, in addition to blue peafowl. The zoo has them wander the property free-range, assumedly with clipped wings, to eat all the pests and bugs. Many of the females will have chicks following her as they run through the crowds of people and intone vegetation. I’m assuming they could still be raised on a farm or in an aviary?

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

@@bradycall1889 No, the are not 'wild chickens'. The name is junglefowl.

[@indyreno2933]

@Dr.Ian-Plect, "chicken" refers to the genus Gallus as a whole, therefore chickens and junglefowl are the same thing, just like "dog" refers to the family Canidae as a whole, "cat" refers to the family Felidae as a whole, "cattle" refers to the tribe Bovini as a whole, "camel" refers to the family Camelidae as a whole, "pig" refers to the family Suidae as a whole, "guinea pig" refers to the genus Cavia as a whole.

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

@@indyreno2933 Reno, I 've already responded to you on this very point on another thread. I told you that the convention of a common name applying to all taxa is at family level, not genus level. Just as in your dog, camel and pig examples, that's family level. Junglefowl are junglefowl, chickens merely a descendant.

When I was digging for gold samples to send back to be tested.. in the jungle between Cambodia 🇰🇭 and Vietnam border.. actually it was Cambodia but close to Vietnam border suddenly I heard the jungle chicken 🐔 crowing 🐓.. and I asked one of the guides.. is there a village near by..? he said no just the wild chicken.. 😂.. hmmmm.. I had a great time working over there but it was just too short.

[@Theriantips101]

​I live in PA and currently have 2 junglefowl chicks, a male and a female. 🎉 We are planning on making a flock of them ​and give them flying lessons and training lessons. Also using them as show birds.😂@@peaceleader7315
