7 LET S TALK TURKEY Objective For students to create a turkey call which mimics the sound of a female turkey (hen). Materials Not Provided Plastic drinking straw Leather lace Plastic pony beads Masking tape Scissors Feathers from a craft store Background Photo Tony Northrup ( Turkeys are wary and hard to fool. Generations of turkey hunters will all agree. By using a call, a person is imitating, not the male turkey, but the turkey hen. The male turkey gobbles to let the hens know where he is. The hens then come to the male to breed. A hunter uses the call of the hen to broadcast to the toms that she is out there. He in turn gobbles to let her know where he is. Young turkeys, also known as poults, inherit the ability to make calls from their parents. To use your turkey call, place the uncut end in your mouth, halfway between the front of your lips and the corner of your mouth. Cup you hands over the end of the call to create a kind of echo chamber for the sound. Now suck on it in little short breaths, much like making a kissing noise. You should be making the sound of a hen turkey. It gets easier with practice. Procedure 1. Cut a 13 centimeter piece of the plastic drinking straw. Discard the rest. 2. On one end, cut out a scoop on one side only. It should be about 1.5 centimeters long. 3. Take the leather lace, hold both ends together, and slide on two (2) of the plastic pony beads. Slide them up until they are about five (5) centimeters from the loose ends. 4. Slip the length of plastic straw between the two (2) beads. Push them together to hold it in place. 5. Slide three (3) pony beads on each of the two loose ends of the leather lace. Leave about 1.5 centimeters beneath the lowest bead. 6. Attach the feathers by sliding each one up under the three beads on the end of each lace. 7. Wrap a piece of masking tape around the uncut end of the straw to form a mouthpiece. Be careful not to cover up the end of the straw.
