explorers turkeys were to be found both wild
and domesticated
Present day scientists have found enclosures
in these villages which at one time used as
cages for wild turkeys, which were herded to-

turkey became known "pavos" account of
his relationship to the peacock, which was then
called "pavo real'-the fowl Of kings.
