The Thanksgiving Turkey
The Turkey has become a symbol of the Thanksgiving
celebration. The turkey is native to northern Mexico and the eastern United
States. It was later domesticated in Mexico, and was brought into Europe early
in the 16th century.
The turkey has brown features all around and
buff-colored feathers on the tips on the wings and tail. The male turkey is
called a Tom, and is bigger, brighter and has more colorful features than the
female turkey. The female is called a Hen, and is generally smaller and plain
in color.
