Are geese a type of poultry or not. They have been domesticated since ancient times (Geese saved Rome from Celtic invasion). I suggest they be included.

*I wouldn't categorize geese as being the first thing that comes to mind when we think of poultry. I'm going to try and find a different picture of an actual chicken to place on there. It makes sense.--[[User:WaltCip|WaltCip]] 14:00, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Any birds kept for domestic use as food and associated use (e.g. down feathers, oil)should be considered poultry. --[[User:Dr Bird|Dr Bird]] ([[User talk:Dr Bird|talk]]) 14:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

------------------------------------------

I've reverted several of your category additions. Poultry refers to domesticated birds, and is appropriate for say [[Chicken]] or [[Helmeted Guineafowl]], but not for eg [[Phasianidae]]. Most birds in this large family are never domesticated, and many are rare, protected or little known, like the Himalayan pheasants. [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 05:17, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

:Hi, here's the reason for inclusion of [[pheasant]], from the opening two paragraphs of the [[poultry]] article itself:
:Poultry is the class of domesticated fowl (birds) used for food or for their eggs. These most typically are members of the orders Galliformes (such as chickens and turkeys), and Anseriformes (waterfowl such as ducks and geese).
:The word poultry is often used to refer to the meat of these birds. In a more general sense, it may refer to the meat of other birds, such as pigeons or doves, or game birds like '''pheasants'''.
:I have seen pheasant in markets at various times; the pheasant is definitely involved in the poultry industry. --[[User:McDogm|McDogm]] 15:15, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
:Much more than pheasants, [[doves]] are poultry. In the middle east, including [[Egypt]], the dove is the main domesticated bird used for food. Have you read [[Lawrence Durrell]]'s [[Alexandria Quartet]]? The dove industry is featured, as a universal presence in Durrell's Egypt. One recurring image is that of the doves which, having escaped from their cage in the market, don't escape or fly away but just stay there where the cage broke. I really hope you reinstate pheasant and especially dove. The two species are eaten every day around the world. More specifically, doves are very heavily domesticated and should not have been removed from the list in the first place. Thanks for reading. --[[User:McDogm|McDogm]] 15:21, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

The point I was trying to make was that individual species like [[Common Pheasant]] can appropopriately be classed as poultry, but not the [[Phasianidae]] family as a whole. I've never heard of anyone in the west at least eating any other of the many pheasant species, and some are extremely rare and difficult to find.

Similarly with [[dove]]. I would accept that say [[Wood Pigeon]], [[Turtle Dove]] and some others might be classed as poultry, but not all 300-odd species. If you know the African species, cat that, and I have no problem, but I do have a problem with '''all''' members of the pheasant/dove/[[anatidae|ducks, geese and swan]] families being so labelled when only a handful are verifiably actually used as poultry. [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 17:12, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Looking again at your note on my talk page, I think the confusion is between the species and the family. Pheasant is commonly used to refer to the widely eaten and very tasty [[Common Pheasant]], but the Pheasant article refers to the whole family - similarly with dove, only more so.

:The thing of it is, that because pheasants are poultry, and because pheasants are phasinadae, then logically phasinidae are closely linked to poultry. Rhetorically, is not the article [[birds]] included in the poultry category?--[[User:McDogm|McDogm]] 05:32, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

::And since birds are vertebrates then all vertebrates are poultry.... ok, do you see the flaw in your logic? Poultry refers to specific birds that are prepared, cooked and eaten. Individual bird species should be tagged as poultry, and if a higher order (genus or larger) contains only birds tagged as poultry, then that higher grouping may also be tagged as such. If the higher grouping includes species that are not poultry, then that higher grouping should not be tagged as poultry. - [[User:UtherSRG|UtherSRG]] 13:17, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Come in a bit late on this one - to add to the above, 'poultry' is ''domesticated'', farmed birds only, ''not'' gamebirds - so [[Wood Pigeon]] (a gamebird) and [[Turtle Dove]] are not poultry, but [[Rock Dove]] (in respect of domestic pigeons) is poultry. [[Common Pheasant]] is farmed, but other pheasant species are not, so aren't poultry. - [[User:MPF|MPF]] 23:37, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Ive moved duck to domesticated duck.

Ive added goose but I dont know that much about them so could someone else fill it in?

:I would have thought that domesticated geese in the west are derived from [[Greylag Goose]], and in the east from [[Swan Goose]] [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 18:53, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Millions of upland game birds are raised for both sport and culinary use. Specific color variants of Pheasants and quail are routinely delivered to fine restaurants around the world. Pheasant under glass is a well known dish. --[[User:Dr Bird|Dr Bird]] ([[User talk:Dr Bird|talk]]) 14:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

== diet section? ==

Why the section on diet in the chart? All four birds have the same items listed, and they are thoroughly unclear: is a seed not part of a plant? Does this particularly refer to leafy plant matter? And what is the diet of the modern mass-produced chicken (a large percentage of the global chicken population)? Not insects or leafy plants, or even seeds, unless soybeans be included in that category. Do we include cattle in the chicken diet? I don't know enough to say, but I think that a minority of American chickens are raised on diets free of livestock parts.

I suggest that the diet section be removed until it can be cleaned up.
--[[User:Zachbe|Zachbe]] 15:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


This part in the diet section -- "The common misconception of "I can't eat unless there is meat" is largely due to cultural attitudes and how one is raised to think about food.[3]" -- sounds like more of an advertisement for vegetarianism or veganism than an objective part of an entry about poultry. First, I don't know how "common" this specific idea is. Where is the evidence for it? Don't plenty of people all over the world enjoy meals that don't include meat? Second, "misconception" is a loaded, not objective word. Maybe people eat meat because they want to -- is a "desire" or "preference" a "misconception"? Third, this statement is not necessary for the reader to understand what poultry is.

The diet section overall should probably be folded into a separate article about diet. At the very least, it needs to be cleaned up. Right now it's a jumble of poorly argued opinion stated as fact, and random facts.

== Discrepancy on chickens in the chart ==

In the chart of "Types of Poultry" for [[chicken|chickens]], the "Domestication" columns states that chickens were domesticated in [[China]] in 3000 BC. However, in the article for [[Red Junglefowl]], it states that chickens were domesticated from the Red Junglefowl in [[India]]. So which is it? These two articles appear to conflict.

== Vandalism ==

Someone changed the names of types of poultry to those of several politicians. The whole thing is not only stupid but also offensive with sick racist overtones. Whoever is in charge of this, please revert.[[User:70.118.242.240|70.118.242.240]] 23:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

As indicated in the francophone wikipedia for them the domestic rabbit is included into the poultry since its meat is cooked the same way. [[Special:Contributions/216.86.113.233|216.86.113.233]] ([[User talk:216.86.113.233|talk]]) 21:43, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

== Chickens and flight ==

The article states, "Chickens cannot fly." This is blatant ignorance, based on experience only with domesticated chickens. Wild birds of ''Gallus gallus'' can certainly fly, and so can feral chickens, and also domesticated chickens if allowed to free range without wing clipping. Most domestic chickens nowadays are bred, live and die in caged structures, and never learn to fly. While it is true that chickens even in the wild prefer running to flying, they are certainly capable of it, and do so to reach tree perches. See the articles [[chicken]] and [[Red Junglefowl]].

* As far as I understand, a lot of people just keep chickens for eggs, so egg showing became popular; see [http://www.poultryclub.org/eggs/showing-eggs/ The Poultry Club]. [[User:Snowmanradio|Snowman]] ([[User talk:Snowmanradio|talk]]) 21:19, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

*From the article: "most commercial birds are of hybrid origin.[10]". Does this refer to birds grown for their meat only? I have the impression that the temperament and egg laying of chickens is more predictable with a pure breed of hen, and that a pure breed is better for egg laying.

For multiple reasons removed from summary the sentence: There is some concern that poultry farmers who come in intimate contact with their birds could be exposed to [[avian influenza]], and that new strains of the disease, transmissible man to man, may develop and could pose risks of a [[pandemic]]. 1. This is a suspect statement without a citation from an expert body, so removed this rather than just marking 'cite?'. 2.
