How do they get up into the trees to roost at night? They sure can glide, let me tell ya!
Turkeys do roost in trees. I was out in the yard the other day and had some male wild turkeys fanning, puffing around and calling nearby. Above my head, some females were about fifteen -twenty feet off the ground perching. Peacocks do the same. I have never seen them fly up, but I have seen them glide down to the ground.
It's the commercial turkeys that can barely waddle, let alone fly. They're bred for meat production.
They are more widely separated from their wild brethren than hunting type Labrador Retrievers from their show brothers and sisters (those dogs look hungry.)
