I'm Strut the Puffkin turkey shown standing on the left. My friends to the right are Gobbles the Beanie Baby and Beanie Buddy made by Ty Inc., and Turk-e shown at far right.

Turkey's are very interesting birds. I like to strut around and do some really cool dancing to impress my friends. Turkeys roost in trees and feed on the ground on insects, berries, seeds and nuts.

The hens nest in leaf-lined hollows in brush or woodlands; they alone incubate the eggs, sometimes as many as 20 in a clutch.

Wary and difficult to approach, turkeys can fly well for short distances but prefer to walk or run.

The little Wild Turkey at right is about 6 inches long. Wild Republic, maker of these birds, has joined hands with the National Audubon Society to create this line of birds. Each bird's lifelike design and detailing is the result of input from Audubon. Additionally the sounds in each toy are authentic bird songs provided by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology . Wild Republic's affiliation with these two bird organizations emphasizes its commitment to nature conservation.
