Wild turkeys are large birds native to North America, known for their distinctive fan-shaped tails and iridescent feathers. They can weigh between 5 to 30 pounds and are typically brown, with some displaying hints of red and green. Wild turkeys are omnivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits, insects, and small reptiles. These birds are social creatures, often found in flocks, especially during the non-breeding season. They are known for their strong flying abilities, capable of reaching speeds up to 55 miles per hour. Wild turkeys are also famous for their vocalizations, including the characteristic “gobble” that males use to attract females during the mating season.
