Galliformes

Galliformes refers to a group of ground-dwelling birds—such as pheasants, quail, partridges, and domestic fowl—that are commonly kept and bred in captivity. They are valued for their ornamental beauty, breeding potential, and in some cases for meat or egg production. In aviaries, Galliformes are typically managed in pens or ground enclosures rather than flight cages, as they spend most of their time on the ground and require space for foraging, shelter, and natural behaviors.
