Have you ever seen a wild turkey before ? Because I did. We went to Canada, we were driving down the road and we saw a mother turkey and her 4 poults which means baby turkey .

A turkey is a bird that can fly in fact they can fly up to 55 to 60 miles per hour. A wild turkey is a large, stocky bird with long, powerful legs, a slim neck, and a fan shaped tail . You can tell if a turkey is a girl or a boy by their colors and size. The male is big and colorful ,and the girl is smaller and grey.

Wait for meeeeee!!!😓
