Bronze turkeys

The bronze turkey is an impressive breed of turkey with shimmering, bronze-colored plumage. Originally from North America, it was bred for its tender meat. Today, it is considered a rare livestock breed and is preserved in ark parks such as the pheasantry. With its strong physique and the typical "gurgling" of the males, it is an impressive sight.

Three bronze turkeys live in the pheasantry.
Their names are Augustinus, Laeticia and Lucretia.
