"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)

[edit] Relationship to Charadriiformes?

There's a link from this article to an EvoWiki article claiming that Anserae are morphologically closer to Charadriiformes. Could it be possible that Charadriiformes are direct descendants of the Galloanserae?

[edit] 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)
