turkey

This emoji represents a turkey, a large bird particularly famous in North America. It's especially iconic as the representative food for Thanksgiving.

Turkeys hold significant cultural importance in the United States. Benjamin Franklin even suggested the turkey as the national bird.

Native to North America, the turkey is a large bird characterized by its distinctive red face and fanned tail. Males have a unique habit of spreading their colorful feathers in a fan shape during courtship displays.

While globally known as the star of the Thanksgiving table, alternative dishes are gaining popularity due to the spread of vegan culture. Meanwhile, animal welfare groups are raising ethical concerns about turkey farms, sparking social debate.
