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.

Yeah I meant like they're not gonna fly long distances

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That's true, but I think it's amazing that they can fly at all, let alone fly wicked fast.

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.

I am from the 80's and 90's, when "wicked" was a commonly used adjective in pop culture.
