In Age of Empires II, the Turkey replaces the Sheep as the herdable animal in the American maps of the game, such as Cenotes and Amazon.

Their statistics and use are the same as Sheep. They have 7 hit points, 100 food, and the same speed, and can be captured by the enemy.

This animal is also available in the Age of Empires game mode in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Return of Rome with the same attributes.

History[]

Scientific Name: Meleagris gallopavo
Approx. Size: 30 in. tall, 20 lb.
Diet: Seeds, roots, berries, nuts, insects, small vertebrates

Wild turkeys range throughout North America, chiefly in the east. They have dark bodies with light-tipped feathers, banded wing feathers, and a bluish head. Males have a bright red wattle under their beaks and a dramatic fanning tail. They are competent fliers, but are more likely to flee danger on foot at speeds of up to 25 mph. Solitary during mating season, females build nests on the ground, at the foot of trees, or in the shelter of a bush or tall grass where she lays about a dozen eggs. Turkeys are known for the "gobbling" sounds made by males. They are the centerpiece of modern Thanksgiving meals, though the Pilgrims had a variety of game at their first Thanksgiving feast.

Benjamin Franklin disapproved of the Bald Eagle as the national bird, considering it craven and cowardly. The turkey was a much more noble and worthy bird in his opinion. Coyotes and foxes are the chief predators of adult turkeys. Turkeys and their eggs and young fall victim to a wide variety of small predators.
