Science Sleuths: The Turkey's World
Turkeys are known for their unique 'gobble' sound and the way male turkeys (toms) puff up their feathers. This behavior is called 'display' and is a way for them to show off to female turkeys (hens) and other males. They make themselves look bigger and more impressive, using their bright red wattle and snood. This visual signal, combined with their loud calls, helps them communicate important messages about territory...
Why do you think turkeys puff up their feathers and make loud gobbling sounds?

Read the size clue
Imagine a turkey standing tall. It can be about 800 millimeters (80 centimeters) high, which is like the height of a small child's bicycle. When it spreads its feathers, it can be 1000 millimeters (1 meter) wide, as long as a big armchair! And its depth, from its chest to its tail, is about 350 millimeters (35 centimeters), a bit longer than a standard ruler. So, a turkey is a pretty large bird, much bigger than a chicken!
