You got it right GG, it is a brush turkey. The male builds a large mound of leaves for the female to lay her eggs in and he maintains the mound at a perfect incubating temperature. When the chicks hatch they are on their own, unlike most other birds. We have seen a tiny one down at our pavilion a few times this week.
Ha, ha Leo likes his clip, there certain is a contrast. :)
OK Annie, I give up.
ReplyDelete5 th picture down. Is that a type of wild turkey in OZ?
BTW - loved the clipped Leo pictures. Quite a contrast.
