Fashion Forward: Did you know turkeys have unique feather patterns? Each bird's plumage is like a fingerprint—no two are exactly alike!
Nature's Gobblers: Turkeys are known for their robust vocalizations, especially their iconic "gobble." Only male turkeys, called toms, actually gobble. They use it to attract females and assert dominance.
Impressive Beards: Not just for hipsters—male turkeys have a distinctive bunch of coarse hair on their chests called a beard. It’s considered quite the turkey trendsetter!
Eyes on the Side: Turkeys have periscopic vision. Their eyes on the sides of their head allow them to see 270 degrees, making them nearly impossible to sneak up on.
Now that you've successfully drawn one of nature's most entertaining birds, why stop here? Each drawing helps you connect with the wild, whimsical side of the animal kingdom. Keep your sketchbook handy for more silly sketching escapades!
