Wild Turkeys do fly. Just usually not very far, and usually only to escape predators or to fly into trees at night. Or to fly onto my roof to get the the yard on the other side of my house lol
Like bags of wet cement.
Oh,the humanity!!
Context. This is one of the best things to come out of the 70s.
45 Years ago, the more things change the more they stay the same!
They do fly to perches at night, though
Then in the morning they fall out of the tree
I saw one fly across a road once. It broke my brain until I recognized what it was. Initially I thought it was a leather satchel being blown by the wind like a plastic bag in an updraft. Not exactly a graceful display.
Piss one off and it will fly right at you.
No but turkey vultures can
Edit: Did I miss a joke here?
