Galliformes is an order of birds that includes species commonly known as game birds. This group features well-known birds such as chickens, turkeys, quails, and pheasants. They are characterized by their stout bodies, strong legs, and relatively short wings, which make them adept at running and foraging on the ground. These birds are primarily terrestrial and are often found in grasslands, forests, and shrublands. Galliformes are known for their distinctive behaviors, including elaborate courtship displays and vocalizations. Many species are also important for agriculture and hunting, contributing to both food production and recreational activities.
