Which large domesticated bird has the Latin name meleagris gallopavo?
"Montmorency and Otsego counties come together. The Mackinaw State Forest is home to a rich diversity of animal species, including the Northern flying squirrel (""Glaucomys sabrinus""), American black bear (""Ursus americanus""), white-tailed deer (""Odocoileus virginianus""), wild turkey (""Meleagris gallopavo""), ruffed grouse (""Bonasa umbellus""), American marten (""Martes americana""), osprey (""Pandion haliaetus""), bald eagle (""Haliaeetus leucocephalus"") and pileated woodpecker (""Dryocopus pileatus""). The Mackinaw State Forest is home to Michigan's two most critically endangered species: the Kirtland's warbler (""Setophaga kirtlandii"") and Hungerford's crawling water beetle (""Brychius hungerfordi""). Indeed, of the five known locations in which Hungerford's crawling water beetles have been found, two"
"Galapagos flycatcher The Galápagos flycatcher (""Myiarchus magnirostris"") also known as the large-billed flycatcher is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands, where it is present on all the main islands. Its local name is 'Papamoscas'. The species was once placed in its own genus, ""Eribates"", based upon a supposed ""very long tarsus"". The Galápagos flycatcher is in length and weighs 12 - 18.5 grams. It is the smallest member of its genus. Its natural habitats are tropical dry forests and tropical arid shrubland with cacti. The Galápagos flycatcher has become used to"
"Greater yellowlegs The greater yellowlegs (""Tringa melanoleuca"") is a large North American shorebird. The genus name ""Tringa"" is the New Latin name given to the green sandpiper by Aldrovandus in 1599 based on Ancient Greek ""trungas"", a thrush-sized, white-rumped, tail-bobbing wading bird mentioned by Aristotle. The specific "" melanoleuca"" is from Ancient Greek ""melas"", ""black"", and ""leukos"", ""white"". The greater yellowlegs is similar in appearance to the smaller lesser yellowlegs. Its closest relative, however, is the greenshank, which together with the spotted redshank form a close-knit group. Among them, these three species show all the basic leg and foot colors"

"Noble megapode The noble megapode (""Megavitiornis altirostris""), also known as the deep-billed megapode, is an extinct, flightless, giant stem-galliform bird that was endemic to Fiji. Originally thought to be a megapode, more recent morphological studies indicate a close relationship with ""Sylviornis"", in a clade outside of the Galliformes crown group. It is likely that it became extinct through overhunting shortly after the colonisation of the Fiji Islands by humans. The genus is monotypic, with the generic name ""Megavitiornis"" derived from the Greek ""mega"" (great), ""viti"" (Fiji), and ""ornis"" (bird). The specific epithet ""altirostris"" comes from Latin ""altus"" (high or noble),"
"Great snipe The great snipe (""Gallinago media"") is a small stocky wader in the genus ""Gallinago"". This bird's breeding habitat is marshes and wet meadows with short vegetation in north-eastern Europe, including north-western Russia. Great snipes are migratory, wintering in Africa. The European breeding population is in steep decline. The great snipe was described by the English naturalist John Latham in 1787 with the binomial name ""Scolopax media"". The name of the current genus ""Gallinago"" is New Latin for a woodcock or snipe from Latin ""gallina"", ""hen"" and the suffix ""-ago"", ""resembling"". The specific ""media"" is Latin for ""intermediate"", because"

Domestic hens (""Gallus domesticus"") share this opportunistic behaviour and will eat insects, mice, worms, and amphibians. The tragopans (""Tragopan""), mikado pheasant (""Syrmaticus mikado""), and several species of grouse and ptarmigan are exceptional in their largely vegetarian and arboreal foraging habitats; grouse are especially notable for being able to feed on plants rich in terpenes and quinones – such as sagebrush or conifers –, which are often avoided by other herbivores. Many species of moderate altitudes—for example"
"Dalmatian pelican The Dalmatian pelican (""Pelecanus crispus"") is the most massive member of the pelican family, and perhaps the world's largest freshwater bird, although rivaled in weight and length by the largest swans. They are elegant soaring birds, with wingspans that rival that of the great albatrosses, and their flocks fly in graceful synchrony. It is a short to medium distance migrant between breeding and overwintering areas. No subspecies are known to exist over its wide range, but based on size differences, a Pleistocene paleosubspecies, ""P. c. palaeocrispus,"" has been described from fossils recovered at Binagady, Azerbaijan. As with other"
"Greater sand plover The greater sand plover (""Charadrius leschenaultii"") is a small wader in the plover family of birds. The spelling is commonly given as ""greater sandplover"" or ""greater sand-plover"", but the official British Ornithologists' Union spelling is ""Greater Sand Plover"". The genus name ""Charadrius"" is a Late Latin word for a yellowish bird mentioned in the fourth-century Vulgate. It derives from Ancient Greek ""kharadrios"" a bird found in ravines and river valleys (""kharadra"", ""ravine""). The specific ""leschenaultii"" commemorates the French botanist Jean Baptiste Leschenault de la Tour. It breeds in the semi-deserts of Turkey and eastwards through Central Asia."
"Great crested grebe The great crested grebe (""Podiceps cristatus"") is a member of the grebe family of water birds noted for its elaborate mating display. The scientific name comes from Latin. ""Podiceps"" is from ""podicis"", ""vent"" and ""pes"", ""foot"", and is a reference to the placement of a grebe's legs towards the rear of its body, and the species name, ""cristatus"" means ""crested"". The great crested grebe is the largest member of the grebe family found in the Old World, with some larger species residing in the Americas. They measure long with a wingspan and weigh . It is an"

Pile-builder megapode The pile-builder megapode (""Megapodius molistructor"") is an extinct species of megapode. The subfossil remains were found by Jean-Christophe Balouet and Storrs L. Olson in the Pindai Caves of New Caledonia. Its remains have also been found on Tonga. With a weight of 3.5 kg, ""M. molistructor"" was heavier than all existing ""Megapodius"" species. On Tonga, it was the largest ground-dwelling bird species. The fossil material consists of a left tarsometatarsus, a complete left scapula, a half right scapula,"
"American white pelican The American white pelican (""Pelecanus erythrorhynchos"") is a large aquatic soaring bird from the order Pelecaniformes. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, as far as Central America and South America, in winter. The German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin described the American white pelican in 1789. The scientific name means ""red-billed pelican"", from the Latin term for a pelican, ""Pelecanus"", and ""erythrorhynchos"", derived from the Ancient Greek words ""erythros"" (ἐρυθρός, ""red"") + ""rhynchos"" (ῥύγχος, ""bill""). The American white pelican rivals the trumpeter swan, with a similar overall length, as the longest bird"
"Greater hoopoe-lark The greater hoopoe-lark (""Alaemon alaudipes""), is a passerine bird which is a breeding resident of arid, desert and semi-desert regions from the Cape Verde Islands across much of northern Africa, through the Arabian peninsula, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. It was formerly known as the bifasciated lark and sometimes as the large desert lark. Formerly, the greater hoopoe-lark was classified as belonging to the genera ""Upupa"" and ""Certhilauda"" until moved to ""Alaemon"". The name Alaemon comes from the Greek alēmōn, meaning ""wanderer"" (from alaomai, meaning ""to wander""). The genus was established by Alexander Keyserling and Johann Heinrich Blasius"

It is nowadays considered unambiguously to be a Cariamiformes under Bathornithidae, and indeed a very different animal from cracids, being a 2 meter tall terrestrial predator. Similarly, ""Palaeophasianus"" has been reassigned to Geranoididae, a lineage of large, ostrich-like stem-cranes. Cracids are large birds, similar in general appearance to turkeys. The guans and curassows live in trees, but the smaller chachalacas are found in more open scrubby habitats. Many species are fairly long"

"Domestic guineafowl Domestic guineafowl, sometimes called pintades, pearl hen, or gleanies, are poultry originating from Africa. They are the domesticated form of the helmeted guineafowl (""Numida meleagris"") and are related to other game birds such as the pheasants, turkeys and partridges. Although the timing of their domestication is unknown, there is evidence that domestic guineafowl were present in Greece by the 5th century BC. They lay 25–30 eggs in a deep, tapering nest. Their eggs are small, dark and extremely thick-shelled. The hens have a habit of hiding their nests, and sharing it with other hens until large numbers of"
"Great knot The great knot (""Calidris tenuirostris"") is a small wader. It is the largest of the calidrid species. The genus name is from Ancient Greek ""kalidris"" or ""skalidris"", a term used by Aristotle for some grey-coloured waterside birds. The specific "" tenuirostris "" is from Latin ""tenuis"" ""slender"" and ""rostrum"" ""bill"". Their breeding habitat is tundra in northeast Siberia. They nest on the ground laying about four eggs in a ground scrape. They are strongly migratory wintering on coasts in southern Asia through to Australia. This species forms enormous flocks in winter. The species is recorded in low numbers"
"Great jacamar The great jacamar (""Jacamerops aureus"") is a species of bird in the family Galbulidae. It is placed in the monotypic genus Jacamerops. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela, where its natural habitat is subtropical and tropical moist lowland forests. German zoologist Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller described the species in 1776. The species name is the Latin adjective ""aureus"" ""golden"". In 2000, the binomial name was changed from ""J. aurea"" to ""J. aureus"" so the species name agreed in gender with the genus name. It measures in"

It is believed that ""L. gallinacea"" buried its eggs in warm sand or soil. Giant malleefowl The giant malleefowl (""Leipoa gallinacea"") is an extinct megapode that was native to Australia. It was described from Plio-Pleistocene deposits at the Darling Downs and Chinchilla in south-east Queensland by Charles De Vis, who erected the genus ""Progura"" for it. Material referrable to the species has also been collected from South Australia and from Wellington Valley and the Wombeyan Caves of"
"Great spotted cuckoo The great spotted cuckoo (""Clamator glandarius"") is a member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes, which also includes the roadrunners, the anis and the coucals. The genus name ""clamator"" is Latin for ""shouter"" from ""clamare"", ""to shout"". The specific ""glandarius"" is derived from Latin ""glans, glandis"", ""acorn"". It is widely spread throughout Africa and the Mediterranean Basin. It is a brood parasite that lays its eggs in the nests of corvids, in particular the Eurasian magpie. Unlike the common cuckoo, neither the hen nor the hatched chick of this species evict the host's eggs, but"
"Geospiza Geospiza is a genus of bird in the family Thraupidae. All species in the genus are endemic to the Galápagos Islands; together with related genera, they are collectively known as Darwin's finches. Although in the past, they were classified in the bunting and American sparrow family Emberizidae, more recent studies have shown they belong in the tanager family. The genus contains the following species. A purported hybrid species (informally nicknamed ""Big Bird"") endemic to Daphne Major and formed almost 4 decades prior by hybridization between a vagrant ""Geospiza conirostris"" and a ""Geospiza fortis"" was also reported in 2017, though"
"Megapode The megapodes, also known as incubator birds or mound-builders, are stocky, medium-large, chicken-like birds with small heads and large feet in the family Megapodiidae. Their name literally means ""large foot"" (Greek: ""mega"" = large, ""poda"" = foot), and is a reference to the heavy legs and feet typical of these terrestrial birds. All are browsers, and all but the malleefowl occupy wooded habitats. Most are brown or black in color. Megapodes are superprecocial, hatching from their eggs in the most mature condition of any bird. They hatch with open eyes, bodily coordination and strength, full wing feathers, and downy"
