- The australian turkey has to build a giant nest, a place for his females to lay their eggs.

When Australia separated from Gondwana ages ago, its animal species were isolated from the rest of the world. Not quite all of them, though. Birds could still fly between the land masses. Giant birds called moas developed in these jungles where food was abundant and there were few predators. Some of them weighed as much as 550 pounds. This is a distant relative of those birds. The talegalla is polygamous and has to provide a place for his females to lay their eggs. He’s building a very unusual nest.
The turkey gathers together leaves and other plant materials to build his love nest
The turkey gathers all the leaves he can. Then a fungus grows among them and they decompose. This process of decomposition produces heat, which turns the nest into a real incubator. The incubator always has to be between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius. To take the temperature of the nest the turkey has a thermometer in his tongue or in his beak we don´t really know.

This is a great piece on the brush turkeys. I call them bush turkeys, but anyways....
We have heaps of them where I live in northern Sydney and they are machines. Couple of anecdotes from observation:
Turkey builds enormous nest in neighbour's garden. He (a very organised German gentleman) puts easel-style double sided mirror in the nest. I watched the turkey first having a fight with its reflection, then sitting on top of the mirrors and then burying the whole bloody thing.
Another neighbour has a whole lot of pine mulch delivered outside their place on the side of the road. The resident turkey decides that he doesn't want it on the side of the road; he wants it ON the road. So over the next day or so the bloody thing shifted the whole pile onto the middle of the road. Cars had to veer around it and one actually rolled down the embankment on the low side.
Don't mess with the bush turkeys (also remember that they are protected critters as well)
I prefer bush turkey aswell
Brush turkeys are the chillest birds ever, they can allow you to get as close as you want, but not keep their chill around reptiles
One time a Brushtail Turkey started building a nest in our backyard and Mum was NOT impressed XD
0:54 its not a kangaroo its a pademelon you can tell by its small size body posture and also kangaroos don't live in rain forests and prefer open grass land habitat
Will's Wildlife Kingdom pretty sure I saw a Koala Bear too...
@@pootube50 I wish i was a bush turkey
Thanks for confirming👍
I was like,yeah nah,that's a pademelon
The misinformation... astounding
haha a kangaroo.....right lol
Yeh and they call crocs blue tongues
You said, that this brush turkeys are close relatives to the reptiles. Thats not right! The Brush turkey counts to the megapods in the order galliformes! So its closer related to chickens than to moas or reptiles! They have the same breeding szstem because of convergent evolution!
It is not a kangaroo. Looks more like a pademelon.
Thermometer in his tongue? How amazing!
Imagine if humans had thermometers in their tongue and have to take someone's temperature rectally..
@@maniacram 😛🌡️🍑
Related to the Moa? Well both birds, however Moa indigenous to New Zealand, extinct now. Kangaroo.. No.. Please get your facts right
also it is completely wrong to say that bush turkeys are closer related to modern reptiles than birds just because of their nesting habits malleefowel also exhibit this nesting behavior these birds are more related to feathered dinosaurs than lizards and the two evolutionary branches go in completely different directions
P
X...cellent !
I like birds cuz their cute
What's with the 2 ppl who disliked this video?
Not the only bird, that does this Mallee fowl do as well
I Love Australia Brush Turkeys From Goran Miletic
we call them scrub turkeys in Aus
"Kangaroos" then "closer relatives to reptiles because they use artificial warmth".....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i mean birds are dinosaurs but the way they make their nests is not a reason to make them closely relatives to reptiles it's not how classification work
Kangaroo? That's not a kangaroo
Wow really? i'm going to hazard a guess you've never been to Australia let alone see a kangaroo before. Thjat's what we fucking call a wallaby
they discovered incubators, before human..
Yes, a paddymelon, too small for a wallaby or kangaroo. One of those pesky scrub turkeys was raiding my potato bed for grubs and worms this morning.
did anybody catch the "some way as much as- FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY POUNDS"
This looks so nineties.
Perhaps the somewhat tenuous link suggested between this member of the galliforme community and reptiles might rest on the similarity of the nests built by crocodiles. But the glib generalisations of the commentary (kangaroo? - an egregious generalisation) undercut the somewhat ropey quality of the conclusions offered. Please note, another member of the galliforme family is the quail.
A northern bird more likely related to the Moa is the Cassowary - still to be found in the tropical rainforests around Cairns.
Anyone here from the red queen? 🤔
do your research before presenting your case...do not give wrong info
I have a pet bush turkey (Emma), see her antics on my channel!
4 tons 8 thousand pounds?
yea......birds are dinosaurs but the way they make their nests is not a reason to conclude that they are closely relatives of reptiles if they are then all birds are because reptiles are not a group of birds they are completely different animals and the ancestors of modern day reptiles split millions of years ago from the reptile that gave rise to dinosaurs which includes birds in fact birds/dinosaurs, crocodilians and the extinct pterosaurs evolved from the same family of reptiles but still modern day reptiles were already on their own evolutionary path
crocodiles are the closest relitives to dinosaurs/birds but it's not because megapodes (includes australian bush turkey) and crocodilians make their nests in similar way but it's because their ancestor was the same animal behaviour is not what classifies animals in the evolutionary "tree"
🐔🌪⛈🐝
liked the vid up to the p9oint were she said the bird came from lizards because of the nesting. any excuse to sell evolution.
There is an enormous amount of morphological research and evidence that strongly suggests, if not categorically confirms, that birds evolved from reptiles / dinosaurs. Not merely behavioural traits.
And which theory does your scientific research point you towards?
dinosaurs are not true reptiles due to the evidence of feathers even the trez has been found to actually have a thin coating of down all over
Crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to other reptiles. It's perhaps more helpful to think of birds as a kind of dinosaur and to think of birds and other dinosaurs as kinds of reptiles.
I'm vegetarian, but they look tasty
Im from turkey turkey not pour
Stopped watching at “kangaroo”. That’s not a kangaroo...
Lol these poms need to do their research! Kangaroo lol it’s actually a jumper-rat
It's a Pademelon
So bad, so many mistakes, bad journalism
طائر قريب لحيوان زاحف.
أمر غير منطقي ولا عقلي .مجرد جزعبلات التطور
Cut the crap, show us the nest
The birds are a complete pest.
