Information On Wild Turkeys -
pictures, breeders
These birds are omnivorous, thriving on everything they can find. Their diet usually includes seeds, grasses, berries, insects and small vertebrates. Their populations can reach large numbers if food is abundant. These birds inhabit woods and shrubs that provide enough food and protection from predators. These birds are good flyers; they fly close to the ground and reach great speed, but they are unable to cover large distances. These birds are solitary, except for chicks that live with their mother during the first year of their lives. As for the social structure of the species, males are polygamous; they have large home ranges that include the territories of about 5 females. Females make the nests and care for the young alone. Some birds migrate in winter, but most of them stay in their ranges. Information on wild turkeys with pictures can be obtained from the websites of their breeders.
