The main difference between the two is that Anseriformes are well suited to a life in the water, and Galliformes are more suited to a life on land.
Anseriformes include ducks, geese and swans. They have webbed feet, short legs, dense waterproof plumage and flattened (dorsoventrally) bills. They are well adapted to a life in water.
Galliformes include chickens, turkeys, pheasants and quail. They have large, stout legs and are suited to a terrestrial lifestyle (on land). They are not well suited to flying.
