You know that Turkey is delicious and you really should enjoy it more often, BUT did you know:

  • Turkeys live in flocks, roosting at night in thick tree trunks.
  • Male turkeys are called "gobblers" or "toms" and female turkeys are called "hens."
  • Turkeys are polygamous -- one male has a harem of females.
  • Toms attract hens by gobbling and strutting.
  • Hens lay about 12 eggs at a time, which hatch in 28 days.
  • Wild turkeys can fly at speeds up to 55 miles per hour and run at around 12 miles per hour. However, domesticated turkeys can't fly at all.
  • Turkeys have 27 calls besides the gobble, including the "kee-kee," the "purr," the "yelp," the "whine" and the "cluck."
