BIRDS: AVIAN-POULTRY
Birds are a diverse group of feathered vertebrates.They are characterized by their ability to fly—but some, like ostriches and penguins, have adapted to life on land or in water. Avian species vary in size, behavior, and habitat, ranging from songbirds to raptors. Poultry, a subset of birds, refers to domesticated species: chickens, ducks, and turkeys, raised for eggs, meat, and feathers. Birds play essential ecological roles in pollination, seed dispersal, pest control, maintaining food webs, indicators and sentinel species (environmental health, habitats loss, pollution levels, climate change), while poultry contributes to agriculture and food security. Birds play vital ecological roles in the balance and health of ecosystems. They are key players in sustaining biodiversity stability.
