Final answer:

The early settlers did have use for chickens and ducks as they were domesticated thousands of years ago. Chickens and ducks are important sources of food, and they also have other roles in agriculture and culture. Bird species have been translocated throughout history for various purposes.

Step-by-step explanation:

False

The early settlers had use for chickens and ducks. Chickens are probably the oldest domesticated fowl and were domesticated in Asia at least 3,000 years ago. Since then, farmers have developed other poultry including ducks, geese, guineafowl, pheasants, and turkeys. Chickens are widely raised for meat and eggs, and ducks are raised for both meat and eggs.

In addition to being a food source, birds have other important roles. They are used in agriculture for their droppings, which are rich in nutrients that are essential for plant growth. Chickens are also used as an early warning system for human diseases such as the West Nile virus. Birds have cultural significance as pets and play prominent roles in folklore, religion, and popular culture. Additionally, throughout history, bird species have been translocated for various purposes such as food, ornamentation, game hunting, and pets.
