This junglefowl is endemic to Indonesia. The male's glossy dark green plumage contrasts with the female's brown plumage.
The male has glossy dark green plumage, a pink-purple comb, and red and golden wattles. The female is buff-brown with black bars and mottling.
Green Junglefowl inhabit Indonesian islands. In West Bali National Park they use monsoon forest and savanna, including open areas with grass and shrubs.
Observations in July–September2011 recorded activity from05:30 to18:30. Resting accounted for the largest behavioural proportion and movement the smallest.
Behavioural frequencies did not differ between the two habitat types, but durations did. The author interpreted this allocation of time as adjustment to habitat conditions.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
The2012 thesis identifies capture of wild males to produce bekisar hybrids as a conservation concern. Habitat use and removal of birds for breeding are relevant to understanding pressures on wild populations.
