Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is the day to give thanks for everything.
Thanks for food,
family,
friends,
possessions,
everything!

Plus, you get to eat mounds of food.

:D

And the mascot of Thanksgiving is, of course, the turkey.


Pictures of turkeys can be found here.

Turkeys are native of the forests in North America. The domestic turkeys are decedents of the wild ones. Domestics are the kind we eat on Thanksgiving.

Females lay about 18 eggs at a time, and they hatch after a 1 month incubation period. Turkeys eat seeds, berries, acorns, and small insects.



Happy Thanksgiving, and try not to "gobble" your food too fast!
