Realistic Turkeys

Wild turkey feathers look plain brown until the sun hits them, and then they flash copper, bronze and green.

In autumn the flocks head out into the fields to feed on grain and seeds so they can fatten up before winter. At night the whole flock flies up into the trees to sleep.

Fun Facts About Turkeys:

Fantastic job on coloring those turkeys! Now that you've learned more about these interesting birds, here are some fun facts to share with your friends and family:

  1. Turkeys are native to North America and can be found in forests, grasslands, and wetlands.
  2. Wild turkeys are excellent fliers and can reach speeds of up to 55 miles per hour in short bursts.
  3. Turkeys have a unique feature called a "snood," which is a long, fleshy growth that hangs from their forehead and can change color depending on the turkey's mood.
  4. Male turkeys, called "toms," are larger and more colorful than female turkeys, known as "hens."
  5. Turkeys have excellent vision and can see in color, with a 270-degree field of view, making them difficult to sneak up on.
