Now, there are two new inhabitants, a pair of turkeys. Turkeys have previously lived at the zoo, and the staff is excited to take care of these large and curious animals once more.<\/p>\n<p>There are various types of turkey breeds, and they have a variety of colours. There are mainly white turkeys in Iceland, which is also the most common colour of production breeds. The zoo has previously had a few white and bronze turkeys, but the new residents have black feathers. In Iceland black turkeys are also called copper, as their feathers have a copper sheen in sunlight. Their names are Fl\u00f3ki and Fl\u00e6kja which could be loosely translated as Tangle (male\/tom\/gobbler) and Knot (female\/hen).<\/p>\n<p>Just like quails, turkeys are in the pheasant family, although turkeys are considerably larger. The toms have prominent waddles, and their heads have various shades of colours, often blue and\/or red.<\/p>\n<p>We kindly ask our guests to show these new residents\u2019 consideration as their still adjusting to their new environment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mu.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0376-1-scaled-e1740478995536-1024x862.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two new inhabitants at the zoo, a pair of turkeys called Fl\u00f3ki and Fl\u00e6kja.
