#turkey#strutting#display

This strutting turkey is showing off in full display, drawn in side profile so you can see every part of the pose. Its chest is puffed out, one wing drops low and brushes the ground, the tail stands fully fanned and upright, and a long snood dangles over the beak as the head is held high. This is exactly how a real tom struts to impress others, and the side view makes the dramatic shape easy to follow. The upright fanned tail gives a big open area for younger colorers, while the dropped wing and dangling snood add detail for older ones. Strutting is most common in spring, when toms put on their grandest show. Encourage kids to imagine the turkey marching proudly across the yard. Print it on US Letter or A4 and give this showoff his boldest colors.

Coloring Tips

Stand the tail upright — color the tall fanned tail in bands so the upright display catches the eye first.
Shade the dropped wing — use a slightly darker brown on the low wing to set it apart from the puffed chest.
Dangle the snood — a soft red on the long snood over the beak finishes the proud strutting look.
