Description
Description

The Domestic Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo domesticus) is the same species as the Wild Turkey. It is much larger than the Wild Turkey as humans have breed the Domestic Turkey to become fatter and more friendly. It is believed that the Wild Turkey was domesticated about 2,000 years ago in Mesoamerica and in the Southwestern United States between 200 BC and AD 500. The Domestic Turkey does not live in the wild and can be found in controlled environments throughout the world except for Antarctica. It is bred for its meat. The Domesticated Turkey eats mostly food pellet, but can also eat insects, berries, seeds, and fruits.

Galliformes is a large and diverse group of heavy-bodied, ground feeding birds. Also known as landfowl or game birds, galliformes are non-migratory and skilled runners, using their speed to escape predators as opposed to flying away. Galliformes are chicken-like in appearance with blunt wings.
