This appears to be a modern copy, not some sort of variant bird.

Agreed. Looks a bit 'fatter' than normal.... maybe for Thanksgiving next month (in the US)!

It reminds me of sesame street's big bird

My friends already had a similar turkey for Thanksgiving (in Canada)

I personally think it looks more like a golden bat...

Gauge of the wire loops looks too big....plus where they are located is too close. Could only fit a Saxe or Bavarian helme, total crap.

Look at the "FR", all weird and wobbly. The thing is all bloated.
