[edit] Pheasants and chickens
Aren't these flightless birds? Or do they fly althought just a little bit? In the later case, shall a page list those birds which, can be theorized, are in a road to total flightlessness?
- According to the chicken page, domesticated chickens fly short distances, while wild chickens can fly slightly farther.208.79.244.67 (talk) 18:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Flightless Birds
What about Turkeys and Peacocks? I think Pheasants can fly (maybe not soar) for at least short distances. Who would want to hunt a walking bird? A really poor marksman I guess. They use dogs to "flush them out" of the bushes and as they fly away they shoot them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BradBowman (talk • contribs) 17:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Reference
The reference link does not work
- I'm assuming you mean the "Rails" book link, as that's the one the Google Book search can't seem to find. I've removed the URL; if you click on the ISBN number and use the World Libraries Catalog option, the book does come up there. Not sure what's happening at Google search.
