CAN YOU GUESS THE BIRD THAT ONCE OWNED THESE FEATHERS?

All these feathers were on the ground in my garden. Guess the species. ANSWERS AFTER THE TURKEYS.

Have you ever been close enough to an adult tom turkey tco see his unicorn-style proboscis horn? And I tought only medaeval Scottish warriors painted their faces blue. With thees guys it comes naturally.

The first two from from Turkey, the first one is eleven inches lone.
The third set are from various parts of a Steller’s Jay.
The next pair are from Band-tailed PIgeon, the banded one from the…tail, of course.
The last one is from a Downy Woodpecker.
