If you are then the bird is being used for a food source and therefore would be considered livestock and a subcategory of poultry.

birds Birds are vertebrate animals that have feathers, wings, and beaks. Like all vertebrates, they have bony skeleton. Most birds are able to fly, but some (like ostriches and penguins) cannot fly even though they still have wings. Other kinds of animals like insects and bats can fly too, but birds are the only animals with feathers. Birds have scales on their lower legs and feet, like reptiles. All birds reproduce by laying eggs with hard shells, and most build nests to help protect the eggs from weather and predators.

What are birds? This question is actually surprisingly complicated and depends on what, exactly, you think makes a bird a bird. One typically learns in school that a bird is a bipedal, warm-blooded animal, a vertebrate, covered in feathers and lays eggs. Some can fly, but not all of them. And, until we started to think about extinct animals, this was enough. It was pretty clear what was a bird, or a mammal, or a reptile, when you only looked at things that were alive today.
