Here you have [the male Turkey’s] mate, now coverted into a kind of anxious parent, leading her young progeny, with measured step and watchful eye, through the intricacies of the forest. The chickens, still covered with down, are running among her feet in pursuit of insects” (Audubon, Ornithological Biography (1831).
