Geocache Description:

This area is very popular with the local Australian B(r)ush Turkeys (Alectura lathami).  You might get lucky and spot one near the cache.

Australian B(r)ush Turkey by JJ Harison

Feeding:
Brush-turkeys feed on insects, seeds and fallen fruits, which are exposed by raking the leaf litter or breaking open rotten logs with their large feet. The majority of food is obtained from the ground, with birds occasionally observed feeding on ripening fruits among tree branches.

Breeding: 
The Australian Brush-turkey incubates its eggs in a large mound. The male usually builds a single large mound of organic matter, approximately 4 m in diameter and 1 m high.  Eggs are laid by several females in a single mound. The eggs are incubated by the heat given off by the rotting vegetation.  After hatching, the chicks burrow out of the mound, at which point they are left to fend for themselves. These hatchlings are fully feathered and are able to walk and fend for themselves immediately. Remarkably, they are able to fly just a few hours after hatching.
