It started off with a trade. Ontario agreed to provide moose to Michigan, river otters to Missouri and Nebraska, and gray partridge to New York. In return, Ontario would receive Eastern Wild Turkeys.
Glad to see the reintroduction has been so successful, they are really interesting birds. On a similar note, the urban turkey population has been growing a lot up here in Montréal. A few years ago there was a famous turkey named Butters who went viral and had police assigned to try to protect him from being hit by cars, and last year there was a mother with 2 baby turkeys at my community garden. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/wild-turkeys-montreal-1.7145620
