Tongan Scrubfowl Detailed Introduction

The Tongan Scrubfowl (Megapodius pritchardii) is an omnivorous bird that eats a variety of foods on the forest floor. Shy and mysterious, but can perch in small trees and fly short distances, not long distances. Good long race, fast speed is difficult to catch up. Like other megapods, they use temperature to naturally hatch their eggs in a large burial mound-shaped nest.
