Activities

Outside of the breeding season, males and females live separately, roosting in trees as high as possible. The temperament is docile and slow-moving. They will quickly run to a hidden place when frightened, and are strong fliers, able to fly 500-2000 meters away. Normally, they perch on the ground and cluck. Wild turkeys must be very careful in the face of many predators. This is why many turkeys sleep in trees that grow in water, as they are not easily approached from the ground. Turkeys are very heavy and have difficulty flying; they must run a few meters to take off. Young turkeys have even more difficulty and must fly from branch to branch to sleep in the top of the tree.
