also known locally as "labuyo" this red jungle fowl is so endangered because of genetic pollution caused by incidental breeding with native chickens and fighting cocks. awesome "capture!!"

this red jungle fowl can also be seen in Mt. Makiling. If you haven't seen them, it is because the area is being accessible to humans. This birds would fly instantly the minute they would see humans. Mt. Makiling should be reseeded with this birds since originally they live these forested areas.
