B-Roll of the Male Brush Turkey egg incubation mound I look at every morning over Summer. There's video here of the Female Turkeys and Turkey chicks in various stages of development. Lots of bits of video that were left out of the Brush / Bush Turkey study. There's extended footage of the big hairy scary Funnel web spiders that are infested in the Brush Turkey reserve.

The last third of the video is a mid March Autumn / Fall revisit of the reserve. I find some classic diggings by Bandicoots and can see Ken's Turkey Mound is now much smaller as the leaf litter decays. In the Turkey mound I find some curious items. And hopefully even when the male Brush Turkey is not there it's interesting to look at.

The Australian Brush Turkey, Australian Brush-Turkey, or gweela (Alectura lathami), also frequently called the Scrub Turkey or Bush Turkey, is a common, widespread species of mound-building bird from the family Megapodiidae found in eastern Australia from Far North Queensland to Eurobodalla on the South Coast of New South Wales. The Australian Brush Turkey has also been introduced to Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It is the largest extant representative of the family Megapodiidae, and is one of three species to inhabit Australia.

Despite its name and their superficial similarities, the bird is not closely related to American Turkeys, nor to the Australian Bustard, which is also known as the Bush Turkey. Its closest relatives are the Wattled Brush Turkey, Waigeo Brush Turkey, and Malleefowl
