Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

The Turkey bird is one of the most famous birds. The Wild Turkey itself is one of the turkey species which dominates much of the East, south, and parts of the West, like California. Despite their gentle looks, the wild turkey is so dangerous it will chase away any intruder, even if it is a human, a bird of prey, or an another male turkey. If scared, they will run away from danger at quite high speeds.
