Turkeys

king vultures protect themselves by swooping on other things like lions and such.

It is called a wattle and part of the birds sexual display mechanism.

Kiwi do not have arms. No birds have arms.

All birds, however, have wings, and this includes the kiwi.

Gaggle

duck feathers are the best

They invert them head down into a funnel and slice their neck, letting them bleed and when they quit kicking the take them out.

"Poult" is a term used to refer to newly hatched turkeys. It's also used to refer to young turkeys up to one year of age.

Baby turkeys aren't born, they are hatched from fertilized turkey eggs. It takes 28 days for turkey eggs to hatch. This is longer than chicken eggs, which take 21 days to hatch.

A young male turkey is called a Jake and a young female is a jenny. A grown male turkey is a tom or a gobbler and female turkeys are called hens. Chick and poult are the names for baby turkeys.

The Drumstick

A group of young turkeys is known as a brood. Groups of adult turkeys are called a rafter or a flock.

Yes there is. After hunting for 35 years, generally pheasant, quail and grouse, I bought my first turkey license in the spring of 2008. Unfortunately I went the whole season without shooting a single turkey. Not one to give up... for the fall turkey season I prepared by purchasing decoys, calls, numerous articles of camouflage clothing, and a Franchi semi auto 12ga. w\ full choke. And then On October 23, 2008 approximately 6:30PM in the area of Ponca Hills, Nebraska I shot my first turkey. While inspecting the bird I discovered it had two beards. The large beard is about 10 inches long and 3/4th of an inch wide. The second beard is located about a quarter of an inch below the main beard and is also about 10 inches long, but is only about 3/16th of an inch wide. That's my story.

without a male turkey, the egg will not hatch.

an egg produced when no male is present is fertilized and will never hatch.

it is similar to the human females period once a month in which the unfertilized egg is removed from the body

Actually that is not true. When a turkey hatches an unfertilzed egg it is called "Parthenogenesis." When a turkey hatches out an unfertizlied egg the majority of poults will be toms.

OK Yes male turkeys appear to incubate eggs.I thought it strange at first but my adult stag does sit very carefully on eggs!I have heard of it before but did not really believe it until i saw with my own eyes!

This question can be ansewered in 6 simple words........ HOW THE HECK SHOULD I KNOW

Well, appearently the eggs produced for the first nest are 12.1 average.

if a turkey is scared it will run wouldn't you?

There are 16 ounces in a pound. This means that in every pound of ground turkey, there is 16 ounces of ground turkey.

In 2007, 271,683,000 turkeys were raised in the United States.

The red ornament on a turkey's head is called a wattle.

what is the name of a male turkey?

tom

The red thing you are referring to is called a wattle. It is not clear why turkeys have them but it is likely that they are used to attract the opposite sex and/or to scare away other male turkeys. When the male turkey gets excited the red wattle enlarges in size perhaps making it look more attractive to the opposite sex and scary to the same sex. This is similar to an erect cock on a human male, as the increase in blood flow helps attract mates while scaring off other males. Not much information about turkey wattles can be found. Hope this helps.

The wattle helps to cool the turkey. The bright red area has blood flow close to the surface and as it is not covered by feathers it gets cooler faster. Turkeys do not sweat.
