Yellow-necked Francolin were readily available and affordable for most aviculturists. However, inbreeding and lack of interest caused a sharp decline in the captive number for the next three decades. New imporations in the late 1990s has once again helped gain interest in this species and hopefully, there will be some responsible aviculturists that will help preserve this species for future generations. - Images Click on thumbnails for larger views.
