Chickens naturally fly. Not well or far, but they can get in a tree to roost if they want. That's why they get their wings clipped.
Farmers take that away from them, so all they have left is fight.
Imagine if someone came along and clipped all the fingers off your hand...
I think it's more like clipping some of your toes so you couldn't run too far.
More accurately toenails. Only the feather is cut, as far as I know.
Yup.
I also want to include turkeys even though they're not included in the image. Turkeys like running down hills, since they're perfect runways for takeoff. Then they land in lower-hanging sturdy branches.
It's quite cute.
turkeys straight up fly, they're not even semi flighted like chickens
Chickens can fly, they just choose violence each time they can.
Can confirm, I repeatedly got the shit kicked out of me by a really aggressive rooster when I was like 10
the first two are really "holding" their weapons à la veggie tales
Fight or flight. Backwards, why?
Emu vs Australia
Some people argue that penguins "fly" under water since their movements resemble flying much more than the swimming of other swimming birds
