Some Brush Turkeys





In most of the coastal and mountain areas we visited we encountered these brush turkeys. They are relatively small and spend most of there time on the ground where they nest. Judging from behaviour I think the one in the top left picture had a nest. Like most of the birds we have encountered they were not too skittish, though they would not allow too close and approach. I don't know whether this is natural behaviour of the various birds or because the birds we encounter were all in areas where humans are around.
