Wild Turkey Association
On a website of the wild turkey association, you can see many photos and photo galleries of these birds.
In their natural habitats, these ground-dwelling birds prefer dense woods with openings. They feed in the morning and in the afternoon and roost in trees. Adult birds are large and strong; they run fast and fly quick and are not an easy prey for foxes, coyotes and raccoons, but a lot of predators feed on the eggs and chicks that can be found in the nest. To camouflage in the grass, the chicks and hens are brown-colored and have no beautiful iridescent feathers that males have.

There are 6 widely spread subspecies of these birds in America. Breeders create new varieties of domestic birds, which are kept for meat and sometimes as pets. This species is the most common in the eastern part of the USA. The dominating color in their feathers is black or dark gray. Adult males have long iridescent green or red feathers with a band at the tail. These birds feed on a variety of vegetable matter and worms, insects and salamanders. They have curved bills and claws that make them easy to find food in the grass. On a website of the wild turkey association, you can see many photos and photo galleries of these birds.
