Wild turkeys fly.

Wild turkey makes me fly.

My dog likes to chase wild turkeys.  I have seen them fly.  

 

[mr roboto]

We have a ton of them around us. They fly into our back yard sometimes. Not very graceful flyers. 

A buddy of mine had one fly right into him when he was mowing the lawn. Got a bruise on his shoulder.

Do I hear dogs barking?

Depends what you are up to.  I've done a few things I'm hoping god didn't see.

Catholic: He saw them. Repent, sinner. 

Protestant: He didn't see them until you saw him. Repent, sinner

Agnostic me: Very true.

Jesus someone actually did this? I thought Les Nessman squashed this in 1982.

No worries, an ostrich can though. Watch some YouTube videos of that.

That was one of the best episodes of WKRP.  I do miss that show.

They can, just not very far or high. 

 

[Van Dyman]

I'd let them drop an unlimited number of frozen turkeys on that festival.

I’ve seen them fly up 5+ stories.  Seems reasonably high.  I guess it depends on what you are comparing them with.

What's a worse death if you are a turkey, being shot and bleeding to death or dying from injuries sustained by falling out of an airplane?  Neither sounds pleasant.

 

[mr. furley]

this air on TV Land recently or something?

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Wild turkeys fly.

They fly like a potato with wings.  It isn't pretty.

I can't believe this happened, but I somehow the Arkansas thing makes it less odd.

Turkey's are one of the dumbest animals on the planet.  I doubt they have the capacity to process either.  

 

[Ksquared]

They can fly (not very far normally - 200 yds max), but it is like a bowling ball flying.  Big, round, and not agile at all.  They mostly run from danger.

 

[Hawkeye21]

Wild turkeys fly.  They even sleep in trees.  I almost hit a turkey when a few flew across the highway once.

Wild turkeys fly.

Not very well, obviously.

Shut up, Shuke. He edited his post to include the link after my post. Suck it.

Seems excessive.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiild turkeys.......couldn't drag me away

 

[psychobillies]

I can't imagine a group of people having or spending the time necessary to organize a live animal drop from a plane on to a group of people.  I barely have time to get my lineups in every week and I'm divorced and generally take weekends off.
