[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?

[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).
