Article name?

I'm just wondering if this article is still a work in progress - and if so, what it is eventually intended to encompass? Primarily cannibalism amongst farmed poultry species - or will it be expanded into a general overview of cannibalism in birds, including the wild ones too? Just a couple of examples that I can think of off the top of my head - e.g. a mother budgerigar savaging her own chicks, or gull chicks that wander too far from the nest being unceremoniously killed and eaten by adults of the same species (the latter example not even being an abnormal behaviour, rather a fact of life for these birds - and an example of nature's redness in tooth and claw).

If not, perhaps this article should be renamed Cannibalism amongst poultry (or somesuch) to reflect the very specific focus? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 17:57, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A very good point. I had intended it to be specific to poultry because I feel the reasons for cannibalism ocurring amongst poultry are very different from those when cannibalism occurs in nature. I shall rename the page. Thanks again. DrChrissy (talk) 15:03, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Steven Walling recently changed the name of this article. I agree with this change, but I have been told by other editors it is the Wikipedia convention to write it with "animal" or "poultry" in parentheses. As I said, I prefer the new name but I have also named other articles with the parenthetic form. Is there a page giving advice on this? DrChrissy (talk) 16:14, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The parenthetical form is quite common, if the word necessary for disambiguation is not a part of the proper name of something. For instance, we usually just call a certain breed of chicken by its proper noun, e.g. "Orpington", not Orpington chicken, hence the need for the use of parens.

Thanks for the clarification. DrChrissy (talk) 14:00, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cannibalism in poultry is the act of one individual of a poultry species consuming all or part of another individual of the same species as food. It commonly occurs in flocks of domestic hens reared for egg production, although it can also occur in domestic turkeys, pheasants and other poultry species.[1] Poultry create a social order of dominance known
