Fighting birds, often referred to as game birds, are specifically bred for their aggressive behavior and competitive nature. These birds, such as roosters in cockfighting, are trained to engage in combat with one another. The practice has a long history in various cultures, where it is sometimes viewed as a sport or a form of entertainment. The breeding of fighting birds focuses on traits like strength, agility, and stamina. While some countries have regulations regarding such activities, others have banned them due to concerns about animal welfare. The debate continues over the ethics of using animals for fighting purposes.
