Turkey

Meleagris gallopavo

"Happy Christmas!"		Turkish belly-dancing
Despite their name, Turkeys originated in the wild in North America.
The male (called a stag rather than a cock) has a bizarre red "wattle" of loose skin on his neck and a "snood" above his beak.
These Black and Bronze Turkeys are direct descendants of wild North American birds. The wattle on the neck fills out when he "gobbles" (calls) to impress the hen.
The hen, the object of the stag's calling and puffing his feathers out, doesn't have a wattle or snood and is much plainer.		Young male
