Index of Subjects Perhaps like the Bobwhite in Baccaro a few years ago, and the Wild Turkeys at various locations in NS, this bird was brought in illegally. This month's issue of _Eastern Woods and Water_ has an article on the joys of the hunting wild turkeys in the spring, and speculation about having them here. Wild Turkeys are not native to Nova Scotia, and Nature Nova Scotia (FNSN) has a policy paper protesting the introduction of them and other non-native species without solid scientific research that doing so will cause no harm.
