An up-close portrait of a young male Turkey grazing near the woods just around Thanksgiving time. Here you can see the detail in his feathers as they start to take on a bronze and gold color along the edges. Turkeys and Thanksgiving seem to go together as far as American traditions and holidays but these animals are smart, curious and even make great pets when they become used to human companionship. They can even be very protective of their human friends and be very loyal just like a dog to its human companion.
