Katniss and Rue eating groosling

The groosling, as the people of District 11 call it, seems to be a type of turkey. It makes an appearance in the 74th Hunger Games, where Katniss shoots a bird she describes as resembling a wild turkey. She plucks out all the feathers, and the resulting meat was as big as a chicken. When Katniss allied with Rue, the latter refered to the bird as a groosling; in District 11, a flock of grooslings will sometimes into the orchards, and the workers will catch them and eat them for lunch. Katniss describes the meat as very fatty and delicious with a lot of grease.
