Tame feathered livestock
A domesticated bird is any bird species bred and raised under human control, typically for food, eggs, feathers, companionship, or work.
Chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and pigeons are common examples.
The term distinguishes birds kept by humans from their wild counterparts: Domesticated birds have been selectively bred for thousands of years.
