Yes, certainly around Wyperfeld National Park in Victoria the local farmers use
the terms Purple Turkey to describe Malleefowl. For instance in Yaapeet, the
town immediately before the southern entrance to Wyperfeld, the local
hairdresser is called the Purple Turkey. There is a wonderful mural of a Purple
Turkey / Malleefowl out the front.
Cheers,
Tim
