A turkey is a bird.
Here's why:
- Birds are warm-blooded animals with feathers, wings, and beaks. They lay eggs. Turkeys fit all these descriptions.
- Reptiles are cold-blooded, have scales, and lay eggs. Turkeys don't have scales.
- Mammals are warm-blooded, have fur or hair, and give birth to live young. Turkeys don't have fur or hair.
- Insects are invertebrates with a hard exoskeleton, six legs, and wings (in most cases). Turkeys are vertebrates with feathers.
- Amphibians are cold-blooded, have smooth skin, and live both on land and in water. Turkeys don't have smooth skin.
- Aquatic animals live primarily in water. Turkeys are land-based.
