The wild ancestor of every chicken on Earth, still strutting through the bamboo at dawn. His crow carries the original sound that humans first listened for at sunrise.
- Populasi
- Global population size not quantified; described as widespread and common to locally common, with an overall decreasing trend (compounded by genetic swamping from domestic/feral chicken interbreeding)
- Habitat
- Subtropical/tropical moist lowland and montane forest, forest edges and regenerating/disturbed forest (including slash-and-burn agriculture zones and bamboo growth), mangroves, and adjacent agricultural land/plantations with dense cover, from sea level up to about 3,050 m
- Fakta menarik
