The red junglefowl, also known as the Indian red junglefowl, is a species of tropical, predominantly terrestrial bird in the fowl and pheasant family, Phasianidae, found across much of Southeast and parts of South Asia.

    Kauai - Kokee State Park, United States of America
    The Kauai chickens are descended from chickens introduced by the original Polynesian inhabitants of the island. They are pretty easy to find just about anywhere. In Kokee State Park, the chickens would approach the car on hearing electric windows operating.
