HOME OF THE CEYLON JUNGLEFOWL 



Along the coast of Ceylon, where the eucalyptus, acacias and mesquite abound, these Junglefowl are 

 abundant. The region is park-like, the thorn-bushes and trees alternating with glades or larger open 

 plains, dry and sandy, or with pools and grass. Here they must ever be on the watch for leopards and 

 civet cats, and at night they sleep in dense foliage on lofty limbs, well out from the trunk, so that an 

 enemy approaching along the branch would at once be detected.
