近半年总有brush turkey 光顾，每次都搞得后院一团糟，心想这鸟也太烦人了。今天居然在树丛里发现了一只baby brush Turkey，顿时心化了，一天看它几次。上网查了它吃什么，发现这个物种很可怜，从出生起，就没有父母照顾，完全靠自己。

bush or brush?

都可以，bush更口语一些。

good question
我也一直分不清，刚刚查了下维基百科，楼主说的是对的，可以叫brush turkey，也可以通俗地叫bush turkey。
但是~~~~被叫Bush turkey的有两种鸟，一种是大个子Australian brushturkey， 还有一种是娇小长腿Australian bustard。
看楼主放出来的照片，是brushturkey，楼主的叫法更明确
The Australian brushturkey or Australian brush-turkey or gweela (Alectura lathami), also frequently called the scrub turkey or bush turkey, is a common, widespread species of mound-building bird from the family Megapodiidae found in eastern Australia from Far North Queensland to Eurobodalla on the South Coast of New South Wales. The Australian brushturkey has also been introduced to Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It is the largest extant representative of the family Megapodiidae, and is one of three species to inhabit Australia.
Despite its name and their superficial similarities, the bird is not closely related to American turkeys, nor to the Australian bustard, which is also known as the bush turkey. Its closest relatives are the wattled brushturkey, Waigeo brushturkey, and malleefowl.

我后院有这种鸟堆的树叶，正想要把它收拾一下呢，不知道这只小鸟是否需要树叶，万一是它们的家呢？
评论
在树叶堆下方一米左右的深度，有它们的蛋，蛋利用树叶腐烂时产生的热量来孵化，然后孵化出的小鸟会自己挖一个洞钻出树叶堆。baby brush turkey从出生第一天就是一个孤儿，没有父母在身边照顾，需要自己觅食，自己独自抵抗所有的天敌，猫，狐狸，乌鸦等等。存活下来不容易。

萌萌哒～

看来我也应该去前后院树丛里翻一翻，落叶快一尺厚了，没准也会有。

谢谢你的科普。
