4733. WILDLIFE SINGAPORE: The Red Junglefowl in Singapore

WILDLIFE SINGAPORE SKY, produced by Dr Sing Kong Yuen, BVMS (Glasgow), aims to document wildlife in Singapore and educate the young people about wildlife diversity and conservation.

The red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) is a tropical bird. The male red junglefowl has colourful plumate and is distinguished by the white patch at its rump and white ear wattles. The female has dull brown to black plumage.

The male may have one or more female hens wandering on the grass to forage for seeds, fallen fruits and insects.

Undomesticated junglefowl is a source of meat and eggs in some countries.

In Singapore, it is seen roaming freely in some estates like Ang Mo Kio and on the grounds of the Singapore General Hospital and public gardens.

Singapore is highly urbanised with over 80 per cent of the residents living in high-rise apartments.  Its presence in public spaces connects Singaporeans with Wildlife and Nature and
promotes mental wellness.
