Summary

Description A wild turkey is covered with 5000-6000 feathers! Many of these feathers exhibit iridescence, or metallic glittering, in colors such as red, green, copper, and bronze. Males, also known as toms or gobblers, possess more of these iridescent feathers that they employ in attracting mates. In Zion, turkey feathers and eggshells have been found in association with archaeological sites dating back as far as 900 AD. These animals were not only a significant resource to both prehistoric and historic people in this region, but their domestic descendants (such as the "Butterball" variety) provide an important food source for modern day people worldwide.NPS Photo/Marc Neidig
