Wild turkeys CAN fly...far enough and high enough to get a fair distance from the ground in a tree. However, the typical domestic commercial turkey farm raised white turkey is bred for maximum meat making the body very heavy in relation to the wing strength, and kept in turkey barns with thousands of other birds where they can barely walk, much less stretch and strengthen their wings. Even those "free range" domestic turkeys can't fly more than a few feet...more like a wing assisted leap. Domestics would drop like a rock if tossed from any height. | ||
