Brush Turkey Ken & Who Killed All The Giant Scary Spiders 😳

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

the brush turkeys digging remind me of dinosaurs digging their nests

Tip a tiny bit of water down the hole and watch them come out. I do this when I am worried about one of my tarantulas.

Ken has put together the biggest Brush Turkey mound I’ve ever seen. The lady turkeys have got to be impressed with that!

5:40 the weird peely trees are probably causing the infestation, That bark looks perfect for spiderholes

best channel ever!

I think you’re probably right with the tree bark correlation, but I know even less about nature, so only the experts can tell. The one thing I will say is that every trap door spider I’ve seen had an invisible trap door, no open hole, so I wonder how thats supposed to not be funnel web activity, what matters is that the bandicoots are doing their part is reducing human hospital visits due to deadly spiders.

Leo ever thought of a public discord server? We could all get together and chat about stuff in the voice channels or show off our collection of knock offs and and art work! I think a Leokim Discord server could be really fun!
