Did you know that….
-A turkey can twist its long neck 360 degrees, which in effect gives it eyes in the back of its head?
-A turkey has poor night vision, but can see better than a human with 20/20 vision during daylight hours? Their crisp vision is the turkey’s primary defense mechanism.
-A turkey’s ...eyes are set in the sides of its head for monocular vision? But a hen or gobbler makes up for a lack of 3D vision by cocking it’s head left or right to determine the distance to other turkeys or potential danger.
-A turkey, unlike a deer, can see and assimilate some colors? For example, both hens and subordinate toms react to the changing blues, red and whites of a dominant gobbler’s head and neck during the spring breeding season. A tom’s color-pulsing head stimulates hens for mating and suppresses the breeding urges of beta toms. http://www.turkeyhunting.com/
