Poultry is a domestic animal that is raised by humans for its meat, eggs, and/or feathers. Generally, birds that are classified as poultry are part of the Galliformes order (such as chickens and turkeys) and Anseriformes (such as ducks).
The word poultry is also generally used for meat birds as above. More broadly, this word can also be used for other types of bird meat such as pigeons. Poultry has the physical characteristics of wings, two legs, beaks and feathers. In everyday life, poultry are birds that are used by humans, whether for meat, eggs, feathers, or kept as pets for entertainment only. The fleshiest part of a bird is the flight muscles on the chest, and the walking muscles on the first and second segments of its legs.
The term poultry actually only applies in the world of animal husbandry, if in biological science and species naming there is no special order that is the translation of poultry.
Therefore, it can be concluded that poultry is actually biologically a bird, but what distinguishes the term most birds and poultry is only in its benefits. Poultry are birds that are used by humans.
Waterfowl
These birds usually really like to live in water, marked by the presence of membranes on both legs. This membrane is used to help its movement while in the water. So it is easier to use for swimming. Other characteristics can also be seen from its feathers that dry quickly, usually there is a type of oil content that helps dry the feathers when exposed to water.
Non-water fowl
These non-water fowl are actually land fowl, but if they are called land fowl it will be very biased from the meaning of fowl. namely birds that are used by humans. For example, pigeons. Pigeons spend their time in the air. And can be said to be air fowl. Therefore I provide a new category, namely non-water fowl. Including air fowl and land fowl.
These non-water fowl spend some of their time outside the water. Their physical characteristics are very easy, namely from their feet that are not webbed. such as chickens, pigeons, livestock birds (canaries, love birds, parrots).
