A farm or facility where birds are raised and bred commercially, either for food, eggs, or breeding stock.
'Bird' combined with 'farm,' a compound term for agricultural operations specializing in poultry or game birds. Emerged as industrialized agriculture developed in the 20th century.
Modern bird farms are engineering marvels and moral minefields—they can produce thousands of eggs daily but raise serious questions about animal welfare, resulting in the 'cage-free' and 'free-range' movements that emerged from consumer discomfort with industrial bird farming practices.
