About this species

The Grey Junglefowl is the southern Indian counterpart of the Red Junglefowl — endemic to peninsular India and the Western Ghats. Males are spotted grey with distinctive yellow-tipped hackles. It hybridises with domestic chickens where ranges overlap. Nagarhole, Anamalai, and Silent Valley offer reliable sightings. See Grey Junglefowl in the Western Ghats.
