Botasky1 3 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Here turkey, turkey, turkey... -Turkeys are able to adapt to a wide variety of habitats. However, most turkeys are found in hardwood forests with grassy areas. -The best time to see a turkey is on a warm clear day or in a light rain. They what? -Turkeys have heart attacks. -When the Air Force was conducting test runs and breaking the sound barrier, fields of turkeys would drop dead. -Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining. Eat, sleep, gobble -Turkeys spend the night in trees. They fly to their roosts around sunset. -Turkeys fly to the ground at first light and feed until mid-morning. Feeding resumes in mid-afternoon. -Gobbling starts before sunrise and can continue through most of the morning. Eyes in the backs of their heads? -A wild turkey has excellent vision and hearing. Their field of vision is about 270 degrees. This is the main reason they continue to elude some hunters. And they're fast, too! -A spooked turkey can run at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. They can also burst into flight approaching speeds between 50-55 mph in a matter of seconds. So close, yet so far -Benjamin Franklin wanted the national bird to be a turkey.
