["Color plays an important role in turkey breeding, he said, with the color of the male's head during mating season changes from gaudy blue to white to red. Lobner speculated that perhaps the turkeys are attracted to the red, white and blue postal trucks. "]

There are wild turkeys all over here. Last month I saw one running around a parked car about 500 times because it thought it's reflection in the glossy grey paint was a rival bird. I think their brains are about the size of a small raisin.

I agree. I've seen them run across the freeway once. Real dumb, since turkeys can fly and roost in trees.

Although they have a real good sense of escapability. Three of us were hunting them one year and saw a flock. We cornered them in and there was only one way out....they found it. I waited too long to shoot looking for a better shot and they saw that it wasn't a hen making that noise calling them in.
