"FOwl, or Fowl is a shortcut for Fried Owl, a delicious delicacy"

This sentence does not only sound wierd [delicious delicacy], it also reflects a subjective point of view; Should be changed, but unfortunately i don't know anything about Fried Owls.

Owls are neither usually used as food nor are they fowl, apparently because they taste fairly foul rather than like chicken. Dysmorodrepanis 04:24, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, this particular exchange is my favorite of all the many I have read in this gigantic work. Thankyou. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.55.1 (talk) 23:11, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fowl - Galloanserae

It is better to separate the article into Fowl and Galloanserae. Pigeons and doves are also Fowl but not part of the Galloanserae. Fowl is a term from the food customer, Galloanserae from zoological systematics. --Haplochromis (talk) 14:24, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the current setup is confusing. I came from a search on the corresponding Dutch page on Galloanserae and was redirected to "Fowl". Which is quite useless if your looking for scientific information. "Fowl" can mean anything while Galloanserae is a scientific name with an exact definition. That is not the same. 86.107.204.50 (talk) 14:51, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unstable taxonomy enshrined in taxobox

The terms for the various clades in this group are not stable because the underlying concepts are adjusted as new fossils are found and new molecular studies are done. Further I don't think that the article is current, not that the sources are definitive.

What's worse the taxobox format gives pride of place to one particular set of terms on which I don't think there is a consensus. This is one thing that concerns me about Wikidata too. DCDuring (talk) 14:10, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Monogamy

I am not sure why it is stated that Galloanserae are heavily polygamous: This applies to Galliformes only. Monogamy is rather the rule in Anseriformes, although Anatini has serial (seasonal) monogamy. Simon Gadbois 17:36, 13 March 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ysgadbois (talk • contribs)
