For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America…
He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.”

A. True, or
B. False.
The wild turkey was a very important food animal to Native
Americans, but it was eliminated from much of its range by the early
1900s by hunting and loss of habitat.
Introduction programs have successfully established it in most of its original range.
Turkeys are omnivores–they eat acorns, nuts, seeds, fruits, buds, berries, flowers, insects, snails, slugs, worms, small frogs and salamanders.
They feed during the day and roost in trees at night.
Wild turkeys travel in small flocks...
They are beneficial because of the many pests they eat, including insects, slugs, and snails."
