The head of a turkey has
very few feathers. But,
it does have a snood
and a wattle!
A part of the turkey’s stomach contains tiny stones that the
bird has previously swallowed. This organ has strong muscles
and uses the stones to grind up food. Color the spaces with
one dot to see what it is called.
The snood is a fleshy body part that hangs
over the turkey’s beak. The wattle is the
fleshy area on the turkey’s throat.
When a turkey becomes frightened, agitated,
excited or ill, the snood and wattle can
change from their usual pale pink or bluish
gray color to red, white, or blue.
Turkeys can run
at speeds up to 25
miles per hour and
can fly as fast as
55 miles per hour!
