Unlike baby songbirds and raptors, whose parents are absent for long periods gathering food to take back to their young in the nest, it is unnatural for young groundnesting birds such as turkeys and chickens to be separated from their parent. The mother turkey is the center of the young birds' universe.

During the first month when the young require brooding - being sheltered under the mother bird's wings at night and periodically gathered beneath her wings for warmth and comfort during the day - the youngsters, called "poults," will panic if separated from their mother. The terrified baby turkey gives out a "lost call" to which the mother bird responds by running towards her little one, crouching and gathering him comfortingly under her wing.
