Turkey
Turkey Turkeys were introduced to New Zealand in the 1890s and have since evolved into semi-domestic animals. Most farms around New Zealand have a mob of turkeys that roam wild within their own preset boundaries. While turkeys can fly, they prefer to travel by foot and can be quite tough as a result; especially when compared with the shop-bought turkey most of us are used to.
