Why Wild Turkeys Are Thriving in America’s Suburbs
Wild turkeys have long been considered a symbol of North America’s greatest wildlife conservation success stories. Yet across many rural landscapes, turkey populations have declined in recent years. Interestingly, the opposite trend appears to be happening in suburban America.

While these encounters may surprise homeowners, they reveal an important question for wildlife biologists and conservationists: why are turkeys thriving in suburban environments while struggling in some of their traditional rural habitats?
