Apparently, turkeys can indeed fly

Despite by what I'd been led to believe by certain American sit-coms, they fly pretty well.
The Jack Russell charged at a group of about 5 today - they're actually a lot less stupid-looking in the air than they are on the ground. Surprisingly quick. The dog was astonished - up until now I'm pretty sure he'd thought they were a funny looking kind of dog.

Wild turkeys fly pretty well. Domestic turkeys don't.
