During their mating season, the male junglefowl announce their presence with the well known "cock-a-doodle-doo" call or crowing. Within flocks, only dominant males crow.

Male red junglefowl have a shorter crowing sound than domestic roosters; the call cuts off abruptly at the end. This serves both to attract potential mates and to make other male birds in the area aware of the risk of fighting a breeding competitor.

Their call structure is complex and they have distinctive alarm calls for aerial and ground predators to which others react appropriately.
