This bird is found in forested areas of many parts of the United States and Mexico. The male weighs about 17 pounds (7.7 kg) and reaches a length of about 50 inches (1.3 m). The female is about 12 inches (30 cm) shorter. The plumage of the common turkey is dark with a green, bronze, and copper iridescent sheen. The head and neck, which have no feathers, are red and are covered with small growths; a larger growth, a piece of flesh called a wattle, hangs from the lower bill. The wattle is normally red and brightens during the courtship display. A tuft of feathers called the beard grows from the breast of the male. _ Isaac L White
