Yes, I’m in the USA.
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.

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

Turkey tastes like packing material. We started eating them because we were starving in the wilderness.

Someone was just posting yesterday about how wild turkeys taste like shit compared to farmed turkeys.

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.

You’d have to fly that fast if their wingspan isn’t large enough. Would probably have to be like 20-30 ft for a 30 lb bird.
wicked fast

A lot of people in this thread claiming that turkeys can fly, are not realizing that in context of this meme the turkeys were tossed from a helicopter. Makes a difference.
Also they were the over fed industrial farmed ones
