Another thing about the brush turkey is that after the female lays the eggs, she buggers off and has noting more to do with the nest. the male tends the nest (he has a heat sensor in his beak) and scrapes and packs to lower and raise the temperature, he stays with the nest until the chicks are hatched.

(I did not google this, it was something I learned in another life)
