Yes, I’m in the USA.
Turkeys can fly! Up to 50 mph!
They can fly, but more so to get up in a tree than to go somewhere. Source is that I used to have turkeys until some stray dogs killed them all.
They will definitely fly to get away. They can fly 50 mph, which is crazy for a 30 lb bird.
Wild turkeys fly very short distances, kinda like a jump on the moon. They freak out and sling feathers everywhere, travel in groups, and collectively make a fuck-ton of noise.
I’m pretty sure we started eating them just to shut them the fuck up.
We started eating them because they are delicious.
Turkey tastes like packing material. We started eating them because we were starving in the wilderness.
Damn, you’ve either had horrible turkeys, or you have delicious packing material. That said, I read in The Tenth Legion, which is a book by a legendary turkey hunter, that compared to wild turkey, farmed turkeys taste like compressed cardboard. So I guess you’re onto something. Try a free-range turkey next time, or a wild turkey if you’re able.

Wow, they really are the perfect mascot for the US
Benjamin Franklin thought so too.

I was blown away when I first saw a wild chicken fly. I always thought they were flightless because I had only seen domesticated chickens up to that point.
Wild turkeys can also fly, and those things are all over Mariposa.
Maybe not far, but they can. I’ve seen a pack? Gaggle? Fly over a fence. I’ve seen one fly up into a tree as well

Wild turkeys can fly short distances. Domesticated turkeys can’t because they’ve been bred to have huge breasts
Like big ol bags of sand.
Hubba hubba
I have huge breasts, Greg. Could you breed me?

They’re plummetting to earth like sacks of wet cement!
Frozen ones though?
If you throw em hard enough
