Green Junglefowl
These birds live in bamboo or brush thickets in coastal valleys and low altitude inland forests.
They live in groups of 2-5, led by a dominent male who takes the flock to the waters edge to drink and back to the cover of the forest. At night, they roost in the bamboo stands, 15-20 feet above the forest floor. It is an able flyer, seen flying between islands in it's native range.

Tying with Green Junglefowl
Another ancestor to our modern hackle is the Green Jungle Fowl. It links to our badger hackles.
The same uses apply here as for the Red Jungle Fowl such as wings and cheeks on artistic salmon flies.
Saltwater tiers again should think about using some of these golden edged hackles to give a new look to many known patterns for deceivers and baitfish.
