Turkeys can fly...
American WILD turkeys can fly.
I was driving down a steep grade a wooded section of the Blue Ridge Parkway when a feathered bowling ball (wild turkey) flew out of the trees on the upslope side, across the road in front of me, and into the thin air above the tree tops on the downslope side of the parkway. Being from the upper mid-west I had never seen a wild turkey before that.
The Mexican birds that we eat at Thanksgiving can’t fly. They are engineered to stand around and eat.
Was he dropping the fake Mexican turkeys or genuine American Wild turkeys?
