The Orange-footed Scrub Fowl, commonly called Jungle Fowl here, is very common, so much so some consider it a pest for the damage it does. But it's protected by law. The same is probably true right through its range across northern Australia.

Hi Everyone
Does anyone happen to have information on the Maleo and other megapodes
from South Asia and Australasia, where the birds' huge mound nests are
exploited for the large supply of eggs. If anyone knows of any
literature or has firsthand experience of any megapodes then I would
really love to hear from them.
either leave a message here or email on markcocker@randomhouse.co.uk
Many thanks
