he American Wild Turkey, as the name implies, is a bird native to North America and the heaviest member of the Galliformes. It is the same species as the domestic turkey from Mexico.
Adult wild turkeys have long reddish yellow to greenish gray legs and black bodies. Males have a large, reddish and featherless head, red neck and red caruncles on the neck and head. When a male turkey gets excited, its head turns blue and when ready to fight, it turns red. Each foot has three toes, and males have a spur on the back of each leg.
Turkeys have a long, dark, fan-shaped tail and shiny bronze wings. Turkeys exhibit strong sexual dimorphism. The male is much larger than the female, and its feathers are distinct. Females have less ostentatious feathers, in shades of brown and gray.
Typically males have a "beard", a tuft of thick hair (modified feathers) that grows from the center of the chest.
The adult male normally weighs between 5 and 11 kg and measures 100 to 125 cm. The adult female is typically much smaller being 3 to 5.4 kg and 76 to 95 cm in length.
