EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a tail feather extravaganza! This male Wild Turkey is putting on quite the show in New York. With its vibrant plumage and impressive display, it's no wonder this bird is known as the largest gamebird in North America. These turkeys are true masters of the open forest, foraging on the ground for seeds, nuts, acorns, and even insects. And don't be fooled by their size – females and immatures may be smaller and duller than males, but they still hold their own. When night falls, you won't find these turkeys roosting on the ground like ordinary birds. Oh no! They prefer to perch high up in trees for a peaceful slumber. But perhaps one of their most entertaining traits is their springtime displays. Picture this: flocks of up to 60 birds gathered together while males give off a descending gobble that echoes through the woods. It's like attending a turkey concert! So if you ever find yourself wandering through North America or Mexico, keep an eye out for these magnificent creatures strutting their stuff. Just remember not to mention any commercial use – we're talking about nature's very own supermodels here!
