Birds of Sundarban: Lesser adjutant stork and Red jungle fowl

0:00 - Lesser adjutant stork: A large stork with a completely bare head and neck ideal for its scavenging habits. The adult’s face is red and the neck is yellow while the juvenile has a brownish head and a white, thinly-feathered neck. The upperparts are all dark while the underparts are mostly white.

In-flight, note the broad wings with distinctive white “armpits” and tucked in the neck. Similar to the Greater Adjutant, but the Greater Adjutant is larger overall with a larger bill, appears more hunched, and has off-white patches on the upper wings. Often found in shallow marshes, fields, and swamps.

0:59 - Red jungle fowl: This ‘original chicken’ is smaller than its domestic descendants, and is widespread throughout South and Southeast Asia; can also be found as an introduced species in the montane areas of Hawaii.

In some areas of its native and introduced range, has interbred widely with feral and domestic chickens and produced intermediate hybrids. Both sexes can be distinguished from feral chickens by grey instead of yellow legs. The wild male’s crowing is hoarse and choked off towards the end, unlike the loud, vibrant calls of the domestic rooster.
