Download PDFA turkey is two circles and a fan. Draw the head and body first, then add the tail feathers behind them, one pair at a time from the top down, so the fan comes out even on both sides. Each feather is a long rounded loop that tucks in behind the one before it.
Color each feather a different fall color, or trace your hand for the feathers instead. For more Thanksgiving printables, see the seasonal page. For another easy bird, try how to draw a bird.
Draw the eyes, beak and wattle, then a round head around them. Add two wings and a round body below, then two thin legs with three toes. Finish with a fan of rounded tail feathers behind the body, one pair at a time.
