Brush Turkey

“Catheturus lathami, the “Brush Turkey” of Eastern Australia, is blackish-brown with greyish under surface, shewing conspicuous light margins to the feathers. It has a bright yellow neck-wattle, forms mounds of earth and decayed leaves, sometimes as much as six feet high and fourteen feet in diameter at the base, and covers the course outer layers with fresh leaves and sticks.” A. H. Evans, 1900
