The Wild Turkey is large bird which comes from North America and is a member of the Galliformes. The adult wild turkey has long reddish-yellow or grayish-green legs, and black body. Males have a large head, reddish, featherless, red neck and throat of the same color. On each foot have three toes and spurs. One of the specific features of the turkey is the large, black, fan-shaped tail. The wings are glossy bronze.

Turkeys are surprisingly agile. Very cautious, they run away as soon as they feel they are in danger. Their ideal habitat is the savanna and forest regions. In early spring, the turkey makes a specific sound, which attracts females. Males are polygamous. To impress females, they spread out their tail. The bright colors (blue, red and white) on the neck and head can change depending on their mood.

Wild turkeys are often looking for food in people’s yards, and because they can easily find food and they are not pretentious, they survive easily and multiply rapidly. Sometimes turkeys gather in groups and they follow the lead of the strongest of them. After mating, females search for a place to make their nest of mud and branches; then lay a clutch of 10 to 14 eggs, usually one per day. The incubation period is at least 28 days. Eggs are to the liking of raccoons, skunks, gray foxes, rodents and snakes. Adults are hunted by coyotes, lynx, eagles, red foxes and owls.
