WILD TURKEY<br />
These upland birds are known for several traits which distinguish<br />
them from other birds. They are chicken-like in appearance,<br />
and have short, rounded wings, short heavy bills,<br />
and heavy bodies. They stay on dry ground and seek cover<br />
in brush or woodlands. Typically, these birds do not migrate,<br />
but adapt to seasonal changes. The wild turkey is <strong>Ohio</strong>’s largest<br />
upland game bird, standing three to four feet tall and<br />
weighing up to 24 pounds. Wild turkeys are very adaptable<br />
animals. Although they prefer mature forests, with substantial<br />
cover and suitable food sources, they can live successfully in<br />
areas with as little as 15 percent forest cover.<br />
