 Wild turkeys are a common sight in the Black Hills of Wyoming. Visitors to this area are awed by their presence. Adult wild turkeys have long reddish-yellow to grayish-green legs and a black body. Males, known as toms, have large, featherless, reddish heads and throats with red waddles. Females or hens have doler-colored feathers and are smaller than males. Wild turkeys are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and insects. However, most turkeys prefer nuts and seeds. Turkeys have many vocalizations including gobbles, clucks, herds, wines and cackles, all of which have their significance to attract mates, warn when in danger, and counsel chicks. While most Thanksgiving turkeys are domesticated, they are closely related to the wild turkey. From the University of Wyoming Extension, I'm Brian Sebade, Exploring the Nature of Wyoming.
