Image

For a bird supposed to have returned to the wild, the one in the picture looks suspiciously civilized, with its fancy sidewalks and humans (who probably buy or fail to sell the majority of the food it "hunts"). People like to say "It's a jungle out there!", but it's not. It's an agricultural settlement.

Surely someone can find a picture of a chicken in the bush. If nobody does, I'll be back in one year to do it myself. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:44, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Refs and Links

The "Chicken Roundabout" links under both references and links, lead to the "electric violin museum" website. ..which is (tragically) still under construction (as of 2017), and has no apparent relevance to the subject matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.134.124 (talk) 20:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Useful article?

Can't paste the link because i'm editing from my crappy Kindle.

But there's an article entitled "when chickens go wild" on nature.com that is filled with info that would be good for this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.200.128.134 (talk) 12:09, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
