Description
Enveloped in a shroud of raven-black plumage, the norfolk Black Turkey is an emblem of bonafide British origin. Intriguingly, this chatty creature sports a turkey's characteristic wattle, albeit dyed a shade of blue. This heavyweight bird's namesake county bears witness to its rich nesting habits.
