FAQs

Naming your turkey is a wonderful way to connect with them on a more personal level, especially if you’re keeping them as pets or part of a small flock. It helps you recognize their individual personalities and makes the experience of raising them even more engaging and rewarding.

While turkeys may not understand their names in the same way a dog or cat does, they can learn to associate certain sounds with you and with positive experiences, such as feeding time or gentle interaction. Consistent use of their name can help build a bond.

Turkeys are known for their impressive gobble, their distinctive wattle and snood (the fleshy growths on their head and neck), their elaborate fanning of tail feathers (especially males), and their proud, sometimes comical, strut. Their coloring, often iridescent greens and bronzes, can also be a great source of inspiration for names.
