Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are large birds commonly found in the eastern parts of the US.

They are the largest game birds in North America, reaching a length between 36 to 48 inches and weighing up to 25 pounds.

These ugly birds have small bald heads, and their faces are covered in blue and red wattles, which give them an ugly appearance. To top it off, they are considered dumb birds, too.

They are quite social and prefer to feed and travel in flocks consisting of several individuals. Their diet consists of a variety of berries, nuts, insects, and snails.
