Wild turkey cock feather - 25-30 cm - striped
The turkey, bird of the same family than the pheasant, comes from the North America. Spreaded in more than 21 states of the USA, it's smaller than its domestic cousin but stay a big bird. It uses to perch in trees to keep safe from predators. Its feathers quills that we present here are strong and rigid to allow it to fly. The nice striped patterns were appreciated by Indians for decoration.
