What does wild tutkey like to eat

Troy,

Wild turkeys eat just about everything!  They eat:

  1. Acorns, hickory nuts or beech nuts
  2. Seeds and grain, including corn and wheat
  3. Berries, wild grapes, crabapples and other fruit
  4. Small reptiles and snakes
  5. Fleshy plant parts such as buds, roots, bulbs and cacti
  6. Plant foliage, grass and tender young leaves

Like most critters, turkeys tend to favor the best food within their range that they don’t associate with danger.

Enjoy creation,
