Spot the Feathered Fraud

  Who knew..?
Male turkeys also have beards, except they wear theirs on their chest in a long tassle of hair like feathers to impress the females.


Looking for a more friendly way to net yourself some of these fine fowls? Audubon Marketplace offers an extensive line of plushy birds with authentic recorded bird calls, including these Game Birds from our licensed partner, Wild Republic.


Find more great games and activities like this at Audubon Adventures, our award-winning nature education program for grades 3-8.
