Brush turkey \Brush" tur`key\ (Zo["o]l.)
A large, edible, gregarious bird of Australia ({Talegalla
Lathami}) of the family {Megapodid[ae]}. Also applied to
several allied species of New Guinea.
Note: The brush turkeys live in the ``brush,'' and construct
a common nest by collecting a large heap of decaying
vegetable matter, which generates heat sufficient to
hatch the numerous eggs (sometimes half a bushel)
deposited in it by the females of the flock.
