lol me and some friends where haveing a argument to see if they can fly and currently we got like 30$ in bets on it so i was wondering if they can fly at all and how far?

How do you think they get from the ground to the roost?

Wait for the squirrel taxi service?

RE: Can turkeys fly?

They certainly fly. The fly up to roost and down from that. They can fly some distance when required.
Reports of turkeys flying as much as a mile have been confirmed but usually it's only a matter of 100 yards or so, just enough to be free of the danger that set it in motion. I've personally witnessed a tom and hen flush as I drove near them and they flewover 200 yards.

RE: Can turkeys fly?

After carefully reading all of this, I have come to the conclusion that just maybe turkeys can fly

Now if we can just agree like this on everything!!
