The turkey is a large native North American bird. The two remaining turkey species are the wild turkey of eastern and central North America and the ocellated turkey of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Males of both species have a snood, which is a fleshy wattle that hangs from the top of the beak. They are among the largest birds in their environments. The male of this massive ground-feeding bird is much larger and more colourful than the female. The first turkeys appeared in North America about 20 million years ago. The Mayans tamed turkeys some 2,000 years ago, and it didn't take long before they were gobbling in farm yards all over the world.
