Bekisar

Bekisar

The Bekisar is the hybrid offspring of the Green Junglefowl and a domestic female chicken of "bankiva" subspecies. The hybridisation first occurred in Kangean Islands in the Java Sea. The roosters have a glossy blackish green plumage and are highly prized for their loud clear vocals and beautiful colorations, while the hens are mostly dull and sterile.

The male is used by natives in East Java, Bali and surrounding islands in popular vocal competitions. This practice caused the decline of the wild Green Junglefowl populations.

The Bekisar is the faunal symbol of East Java, province of Indonesia.
