*** About Wild Turkey: Wild turkeys are large birds native to the forests of North America. Known for their distinctive fanned tail feathers and gobbling call, they play a significant role in the ecosystems where they reside by controlling insect and undergrowth populations. Wild turkeys are exceptionally adaptable and have impressively robust bodies covered with iridescent feathers that reflect the sunlight in varying colors. Despite being hunted heavily in the past, conservation efforts have successfully bolstered their populations. These birds are often associated with American culture and heritage, particularly Thanksgiving.
