Field Notes

Description:

A feral Gallus gallus male. This species exhibits sexual dimorphism, as the males are much larger and have a comb atop their heads. Gallus gallus are capable of flying, but only over short distances.

Habitat:

Seen in the rainforest, just outside Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo & Gardens.

Notes:

I'm not sure, but it appears that there are females in tow.

What threw me off, Karen, is that they have combs. Aren't males usually the ones who have those?

Pretty sure the others are his girls.
