Meleagris gallopavo
Rural backyard.
Eleven turkeys visited my backyard today. Quite bold, since it is so close to Thanksgiving.
They will fly if you approach them quickly. Otherwise, they prefer to avoid you by walking or running away.
Do they fly?
they look slender than the domestic ones!
Yes. These are wild turkeys. They are common here.
are they wild?
