There is another theory besides the island devoid of terrestrial predators theory. That is that the birds that gave rise to modern malayoids were developed in a landscape dominated by large apex predators. A tiger or a leopard would probably not risk an eye for a tiny morsel, and the smaller...

From what I understand there is more current research going on encompassing genetic material from bonafide shamoid examples, instead of just assuming that modern breeds shared genetics with these birds based on breed histories, when in fact they could just be approximations by hatcheries or...

The use of the term "bankivoid" or "bankivoid" to describe Spanish, English or American gamefowl has long been in practice to differentiate between them and the malayoid or shamoid type. Based largely on historic writings on the subject by those such as Finterbush and Atkinson. At the time of...

There has been much conjecture. There is no doubt that most of the first domestication of the chicken was for their use as gamefowl. There is no doubt that the bankivoid fowl strongly resemble their namesake gallus gallus bankiva, though more probably descended from galus gallus gallus. The...
