Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus)
Observed: Koh Chang, February 2015
Observed By: David Vinot
The Red Junglefowl is the bird that was domesticated as the chicken. Koh Chang has more than its fair share of domestic chickens, as you will be reminded ad nauseum by their fiercely annoying cries at dawn and often before. Some of them are wild or only in semi-captivity, roaming all over the place staring at you with their funny eyes protruding from their horrid novelty condom heads. So whether this counts as a native species or not there are certainly an awful lot of them on Koh Chang.
Eggs are useful though and chicken tastes good.
