Relating to or belonging to the chicken family or order of birds that includes chickens, pheasants, and quail.
From Latin 'gallina' meaning 'hen' or 'chicken', combined with the English suffix '-ine' meaning 'relating to or resembling'; the Latin root connects to 'gallus' (rooster).
Galline birds have been shaped by human domestication for thousands of years, but they're surprisingly diverse—from tiny quail to massive wild turkeys, yet all share the characteristic trait of scratching the ground to find food.
