=== Grooming ===
Turkeys participate in a number of grooming behaviors including: dusting, sunning, and feather [[preening]]. In dusting, turkeys get low on their stomach or side and flap their wings, coating themselves with dirt. This action serves to remove debris build-up on the feathers and also clog tiny pores that parasites such as lice can inhabit. Sunning for turkeys involves bathing in the sunlight, for their top and bottom halves. This can serve to liquidate the oil that turkeys naturally produce, spreading over their feathers and dry their feathers from precipitation at the same time. In feather preening, turkeys are able to remove dirt and bacteria, while also ensuring that non-durable feathers are removed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Daily Rituals of the Wild Turkey - The National Wild Turkey Federation |url=https://www.nwtf.org/content-hub/daily-rituals-of-the-wild-turkey |access-date=2023-02-26 |website=www.nwtf.org |language=en-US |archive-date=23 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240523070241/https://www.nwtf.org/content-hub/daily-rituals-of-the-wild-turkey |url-status=live }}</ref>
