Domestic turkeys can’t really fly, so yeah, throw them out of a helicopter, they’re gonna hit the ground.

I mentioned seeing wild turkeys flying because there are some ‘experts’ who have said wild turkeys can’t fly, they just glide down out of trees. Nope, they can move along.

I always thought that wild turkeys "flew" in the same manner as your namesake, Roadrunner ... they get up a good head of steam running on the ground, spread their wings, and glide for a distance.

Of course, I could be wrong, and probably am ...

I wonder how he thinks they get in up in trees to begin with?
