DID YOU KNOW?
- Wild turkeys are a lot smarter than their cousins,
the turkeys that are kept on farms.
- Like their farm cousins, male wild turkeys have
large tail feathers. They can spread them into a fan to show off for the female turkeys.
- For a while there weren’t many wild turkeys
left. Then people took care of them. Now there are many more wild turkeys.
