It was getting bigger by the moment it was 1.5 meters high, the mound was made out of mulch from trees. did you know that, a male bush turkey makes a nest, once it is big enough it will wait for a female bush turkey to come along and lay its eggs in the males mound. there is up to 16 to 24 eggs in a nest. if 7 female bush turkeys put all there eggs together there is 50 to 70 eggs .

– Wikiproject Birds is using the IOC World list to standardize english names. The IOC has dropped the dash between Brush and turkey. Cannot use move button to move these. I've placed the move request on the family page since it involves multiple genera.....Pvmoutside (talk) 15:43, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Correct name of bird

According to the Australian Museum, the correct name of the bird is "Australian Brush-Turkey" (http://australianmuseum.net.au/Australian-Brush-turkey/) Also correct, according to some other official Australian sources, is the name "Australian Brush turkey".(http://www.wildlifeqld.com.au/Brush_Turkeys.html) The name "Australian Brushturkey" is incorrect".Figaro (talk) 08:57, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

• Those sources aren't authoritative on bird names. and moving it to 'Australian Brush turkey' is inconsistent with those sources because of the capitalization. Moving it back to something which is correct (Australian Brushturkey) until the argument has been had. Personally I prefer Australian Brush-turkey, but I'm not an authoritative source.
