Hi Tim, thanks for your question. Attempts to establish a population in the United States have never occurred, but birds have been trapped and relocated to reestablish populations that have been lost within the species’ historic range.

Have there been efforts to try to establish this species in the Southern United States?

Who knew that there was more than one sort of turkey? Interesting that the young are essentially able to look after themselves.

Keep up the good work!
