1: black megapode of wooded regions of Australia and New Guinea [syn: brush turkey, Alectura lathami]
Webster's 1913 Dictionary
Brush turkey Brush" tur`key (Zo["o]l.) A large, edible, gregarious bird of Australia (Talegalla Lathami) of the family Megapodid[ae]. Also applied to several allied species of New Guinea. Note: The brush turkeys live in the ``brush,'' and construct a common nest by collecting a large heap of decaying vegetable matter, which generates heat sufficient to hatch the numerous eggs (sometimes half a bushel) deposited in it by the females of the flock.
