The clade containing landfowl and waterfowl.
Waterfowl are birds of the duck, goose and swan group. Together with landfowl they form Galloanserae. Aquatic habits are common, but the evolutionary grouping is more specific than all birds that live near water.
Landfowl are birds of the chicken, pheasant and related group. They form one branch of Galloanserae, alongside waterfowl. The name identifies a lineage rather than every ground-feeding bird.
