Gallidae is a family of birds that includes domesticated species like chickens, as well as wild relatives such as pheasants and quails. Members of this family are known for their strong bodies, short wings, and distinctive beaks, which are adapted for foraging on the ground. These birds are primarily found in various habitats around the world, including forests, grasslands, and agricultural areas. Gallidae species are omnivorous, feeding on seeds, insects, and small animals. They play important roles in ecosystems, contributing to seed dispersal and serving as prey for larger predators.
