Abstract
Various trapping methods have been used by the Malay
villagers and Orang Asli to trap animals in Peninsular
Malaysia. For entrapment of wild and extremely sensitive
red jungle fowl, the talents of an informed trapper who will
use his aqcuired knowledge on the behaviour and sensitivity
of wild birds, and the quality of decoys are important. A
decoy (denak) is a living, trained cross-bred jungle fowl
that is used to attract and challenge the wild dominant
male jungle fowl in its own natural territory. The quality of a
decoy is mainly based on the quality and type of crow, the
appearance and behavioural expression of the challenging
behaviors, during the response and approach of the wild
male subject.
