Brush Turkey Babies

Lee and Phil Pinch spotted this lovely little chick in their front garden a few days ago, a baby brush turkey and they've never seen an adult here at Palm Lake.

After hatching, brush turkey chicks burrow out of the mound where the eggs were laid and are left to completely fend for themselves, with no parental care, are fully feathered and are able to walk immediately.

Lee and Phil enjoyed this chick foraging in their front garden.
