Forest King: Majestic Wild Turkey Display

Fun Fact

Did you know a male wild turkey's impressive fanned tail feathers can have up to 18 large feathers, and they use this display to attract mates? It's called "gobbling"!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Power - Use varying shades of brown, bronze, and iridescent greens or blues for the turkey's body and fanned tail feathers to show their natural shimmer.
2. 2🖍️ Forest Depths - Create depth in the forest background using darker greens and browns for the trees further back and lighter, brighter shades for the foreground foliage.
3. 3✨ Wattle & Snood - Give the wattle (red fleshy growths) and snood (fleshy appendage hanging over the beak) vibrant reds, blues, and whites to make them pop!
4. 4🌈 Texture Play - Experiment with different stroke patterns to show the texture of the tree bark, the softness of the undergrowth, and the distinct lines of the tail feathers.
