Thank you for the reply. I don't think they were wild they were big birds though. Are black spanish big? Thank you for the nice words about my dogs. No I lost my last peke this January he was 13 1/2 years old. My little Englishman, Majic.

Most likley Bronze they were very common back then I know my Grandmother had them and soem wild ones in the garden

Ok I had to go dig it out but..... I just watched a video of those very birds. My dad converted all his 8 MM movies to tape years ago. They were black and had a white band at the very edge of their tail feathers.

It had to be at least 50 years ago

Can someone point me to a picture of bronze turkey taken from the from the front with the tail displayed?
Thanks
