HYBRID JAVAN JUNGLEFOWL IN ITS AERIAL BAMBOO CAGE 
Tue hybrid Junglefowl are sometimes valued as high as six hundred gulden. The. chiefs and wealthy 
natives erect a very tall bamboo pole in the compound with a primitive sort of pulley near the top. The 
fowl in its basket is attached to a rope and pulled up, high above all the surrounding trees, to remain 
throughout the day, sending forth at frequent intervals its loud, piercing scream. It begins its call even 
while the basket is whirling around on its jerky ascent.
