Life History. The wild turkey is one of the largest birds in North America. An adult male can grow up to 4 feet long from his beak to his tail. Wild turkeys live in open fields and woods and nest on the ground. Wild turkeys prefer to eat insects, grasses, nuts, and berries. The beard that grows from the center of a wild turkey's breast is actually a group of modified feathers that look like hair.

Overall, the mortality rate of turkeys during the first 2 weeks of life is about 70%, though longevity increases after this critical time period.The average turkey probably lives to about 11/2 years of age.
