Wild Turkeys
Gobble Gobble Birders! Wild Turkeys are an important and iconic bird in the United States. Benjamin Franklin wanted the Turkey to be America’s National Bird. A popular game bird, the wild turkey was hunted to near extinction in the US by the 1930’s, and completely absent in Ohio by 1904. After many years of conservation efforts, the Wild Turkey is once again abundant in the United States.
The Wild Turkey is this month’s pick for Boyert’s Bird of the Month! The Wild Turkey is the largest “Upland Game Bird” in Ohio. Males can reach a height of 47 inches and weigh up to 21 pounds; while the average female will grow approximately 37 inches high and weigh up to 11 pounds. These beautiful birds have feathers with bronze, hints of red, green, copper, and gold. The large tail is brown with a black band at the tip. Adult males have a reddish head, and a long tasseled “beard” that hangs from the breast, black-tipped breast feathers, and spurs on the legs. Female turkeys have a bluish head, usually no beard, buff-tipped breast feathers, and no spurs. Male birds are often
referred to as “Gobblers” and females are called “Hens”. Wild Turkeys mate in the spring time and lay approximately 12 eggs. They nest in heavy thickets that border open areas. Hen turkeys sit on their nests for about 1 month; and the chicks, or poults, are able to walk 6 to 12 hours after hatching. Wild turkeys can fly for short distances at up to 55 miles per hour. They are also fast on the ground, running at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour.
Attracting wild turkeys to your yard can be difficult if you do not have the correct habitat. Turkeys roost in tall trees at night, and feed and mate in open areas. Having a combination of forest and open area is a great start to attracting wild turkeys to your yard. Turkeys feed on wide varieties of food including nuts, seeds, berries, and even small insects. A seed mix that has a high concentration of millet and grain seeds is ideal for attracting these birds. These majestic birds prefer to forage for food, so spreading a seed mixture throughout your yard is great way to attract them. Platform and low trough feeders are another ideal way to help attract turkeys. Water sources will also entice these birds to your yard. If you live in a city or do not have a large back yard space, most likely you will have a difficult time attracting turkeys to your feeding area. Check out the ODNR website (http://www.ohiodnr.com/) for great sites to view wild turkeys in your areas.
