Rio Grande Wild Turkey
Rio grande wild turkey look excellent in the photo or picture galleries.
These birds are polygamous. Mating flocks consist of 2 or 3 adult males and 5 - 15 hens. The amount of hens varies depending on the hen population in the area and the number of other dominant males. A flock has the only dominant male who does all of the mating and 1 or 2 subdominant birds who fight off other gobblers. After several years, they throw the dominant male down or leave the flock searching for a separate home range. Young and weak males cannot breed, but all females can find a male for breeding. After the breeding season, males roam over their territory and search for the hens that are unsuccessful in nesting or those that lost their nest and breed again.
