十分急！我想知道關於turkey（動物，並不是地方名）嘅知識？唔該哂各位覯仔覯女！！！

A turkey is either of two species of large birds in the genus Meleagris native to North America. Turkeys are classed in the order Galliformes. Within this family they are placed on one branch with Tetraonidae. Turkeys have a distinctive fleshy wattle that hangs from the underside of the beak, and a fleshy protuberance that hangs from the top of its beak called a snood. As with many galliform species, the female (the hen) is smaller than the male (the tom), and much less colorful. With wingspans of 1.5–1.8 meters (almost 6 feet), the turkeys are by far the largest birds in the open forests in which they live, and are rarely mistaken for any other species.

Turkey 即火雞，又名七面鳥或吐綬雞，是一種原產於北美洲的家禽。火雞體型比一般雞大，可以達二十磅（10公斤）以上。根據傳統，美國人會在感恩節及聖誕節烹調火雞。
和其他雞形目鳥類相似，雌鳥較雄鳥小，顏色較不鮮艷。火雞翼展可達 1.5 - 1.8 公尺，是當地開放林地最大的鳥類，很難與其他種類搞混。
火雞有兩種，分別是：分佈於北美的野生火雞，和分佈於中美洲的眼斑火雞。現代的家火雞是由墨西哥的原住民馴化當地的野生火雞而得來。
火雞是感恩節的傳統主菜，通常是把火雞肚子里塞上各種調料和拌好的食品，然後整隻烤出，由男主人用刀切成薄片，並由女主人分送給大家。此外，感恩節的傳統食品還有甜山芋、玉蜀黍、南瓜派、紅莓苔子果醬等。

Ben Franklin called turkeys “true American originals.” He had tremendous respect for their resourcefulness, agility, and beauty.1 Turkeys are intelligent animals who enjoy having their feathers stroked and listening to music, with which they will often sing quite loudly.2 In nature, turkeys can fly 55 miles an hour, run 25 miles an hour, and live up to four years.3 Learn more about the intelligence of turkeys.

But the story’s very different for turkeys on factory farms: They will be killed when they are only 5 or 6 months old, and during their short lives, they will be denied even the simplest pleasures, like running, building nests, and raising their young.

Like chickens, the 300 million turkeys raised and killed for their flesh every year in the United States have no federal legal protection.4 Thousands of turkeys are crammed into filthy sheds after their beaks and toes are burned off with a hot blade. Many suffer heart failure or debilitating leg pain, often becoming crippled under the weight of their genetically manipulated and drugged bodies. When the time comes for slaughter, they are thrown into transport trucks, and when they arrive at the slaughterhouse, their throats are cut and their feathers burned off—often while they are still fully conscious.
