Abstract
The breeding behaviour of Malaysian peacock pheasants Polyplectron malacense was studied in West Malaysian rain forest. Males maintained territories, within which some called from cleaned display areas. There were calling interactions between males but no stable dominance hierarchy. Females approached calling males at these display areas for mating. There were year to year variations in males' behaviour, apparently related to the food supply, and it is suggested that food levels may shift the balance between alternative mating strategies.
