What do wild turkeys look like?

Answer 1

It's easy to look up photos of Turkey in Google images. Turkey is a land of contrasts, with everything from beautiful gardens and seascapes to deserts and bleak mountains. In the big cities, the main streets are filled with the usual modern shops and attractions. Go down the side streets, and you'll fnd markets, bazaars, small restaurants, and folk art. Rugs, scarves, beautiful ceramics, and hand-crafted items are colorful reminders of Turkey's checkered past. The remnants of early Christian churches, many turned into mosques, the magnificent palaces -- you can even visit former harems -- such magnificence is in contrast to the packs of stray dogs and obvious poverty in large parts of the cities that tourists may not see (and should not visit alone). Women who, depending on their status and education and the consent of husbands, walk around with heads covered or uncovered, all in black, or, alternately, looking like an American college student -- friendly merchants, delicious food, and hotels ranging from expensive to quite affordable--the cities are striking and amazing. But go out into the countryside, and it's like plunging centuries backwards. You might see anything, but there mostly great stretches of emptiness, without a building in sight. Note that the tourist tours will take you mostly to expensive tourist traps that do not let you see much of the 'real' Turkey! You might try to join a university group or other group that goes to Turkey to study Archaeology, religion, or history: you may be able to get a discount ticket with such a group, and they are likely to accept you, because they need a few extra people in their group to get better discounts in hotels and on airlines. Check it out, anyway. I don't recommend traveling there alone, and as in all countries, best not to look/act like a tourist, and keep your ID and money strapped inside your shirt where clever fingers (especially on a tram or bus) won't snatch them. Travelers are surprised that they have to get visas as they enter Turkey. This is just another way to extract a little money, as you just show your ID and sign your name, pay your visa fee, and you get one, right away, at the airport Customs desk. If you visit a famous mosque, for heaven's sake, remember to remove your shoes, and follow the rules. You WILL get your shoes back! In Istanbul, you an't miss the Topkapi and the Blue Mosque. For as little as a few Turkish dollars, you can buy a pretty, handmade ceramic bowl as a souvenir only a few blocks from the Blue Mosque, rather than paying ten times as much in the Tourist stores there. Turkish weather ranges from quite cold to quite hot: look up weather logs for the cities you wish to visit to choose the best months. Women should wear modest clothing if they want to avoid offending Turkish people, and also, it makes it more likely that they can get inside mosques, palaces, museums, and other interesting places. Turkish delight is one of the famous confections in Turkey that's affordable, and makes a nice gift. Drink bottled water: most hotels provide bottled water in your rooms to get you atarted.

Answer 2

Domestic turkeys look like wild turkeys. Males look more attractive than the females because of all their big feathers. The females are simple looking, less flamboyant.
