Wild Turkey Facts
Many wild turkey facts with photo galleries can be viewed on the website of a breeder.
Just like humans, these birds need enough room to walk and make a nest. This species is polygamous; a single male can be kept with several females. Adult males should be kept separately with their harems, because they will fight for females, especially in spring. Males breed with several females and don’t participate in hatching the eggs. They become protective during the breeding season and when the chicks are young. These birds don’t make a communal nest; every hen makes its own nest and hatches the chicks alone.

Wild Turkey Facts -
photo, breeder
In their natural habitat, these birds are omnivorous, able to thrive on various fruits, seeds, insects, and even lizards, but when you keep such a pet in an enclosure, you cannot provide it with its usual food. Diet consisting of seeds only is not preferable, because it contains little vitamins and may lead to problems with feathers. Breeding birds and brooding hens should have enough calcium and vitamins in their daily ration. Commercial food should be supplemented with fresh vegetables and fruits. The owner is responsible for the bird’s health and longevity. Many wild turkey facts with photo galleries can be viewed on the website of a breeder.
