Wild Turkey

Also known as Meleagris gallopavo

species of turkey native to North America

AI overview

Wild Turkey is a large bird native to North America that can fly and roost in trees, unlike the domesticated turkeys raised for food. The species is significant because it was nearly hunted to extinction by the early 1900s but has since made a remarkable recovery due to conservation efforts, and it remains an important part of North American wildlife and cultural heritage.

Article

The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is an upland game bird native to North America, one of two extant species of turkey and the heaviest member of the order Galliformes. It is the ancestor to the domestic turkey (M. g. domesticus), which was originally derived from a southern Mexican subspecies of wild turkey (not the related ocellated turkey).
