text: Wild Turkeys live in open woodlands and forests  with lots of clearings and meadows. They travel during the day looking for food.\n\nWild Turkeys eat a great variety of foods, including: insects, spiders, snails, slugs, salamanders, small lizards, small frogs, millipedes, grasshoppers, very small snakes, worms, grasses, vines, flowers, acorns, buds, seeds, fruits, clovers, dogwood, blueberries, cherries, hickory nuts, beechnuts, and other vegetation.\n\nWild Turkeys travel in small flocks. For most of the year, they are single-sex flocks. Females are with females, males with males. Young turkeys follow their mothers.\n\nWild Turkeys have good eyesight and hearing, and they are very fast runners.\n\nThe breeding  season is in March and April. A male turkey will try to find a female flock to make his harem.\n\nTo attract females, the male will gobble and strut, fanning out his tail. He will mate with several females in the flock.\n\nWild Turkey nests are made in the ground. A shallow depression is lined with leaves and covered up with vines and other plants. Ten to fifteen eggs are laid. Eggs are light brown, with black and dark brown spots. The female will sit on the eggs for a month are more. This makes her very vulnerable to predators.
