SOME FACTS ABOUT TURKEYS
The wild turkey was first domesticated by Native Americans. Spanish explorers took the birds to Europe in the 16th century.
Turkeys’ heads change colour when they become excited.
We will eat 10 million turkeys this Christmas. These are the artificially bred descendents of the American Wild Turkey.
The turkey was Benjamin Franklin's choice for the United States' national bird (he considered the bald eagle as a bird of bad moral character).
A wild turkey’s gobble can be heard up to one mile away!
Turkeys can run at speeds up to 25 mph, and they can fly up to 55 mph.
