National Turkey Lovers Month

by admin | Jun 7, 2017 | Q News

June is National Turkey Lovers Month! While turkeys are most popularly enjoyed at Thanksgiving dinner, having this celebration in June appreciates the turkey’s year-round greatness. Here are some things you may not have known about this All-American bird:

  1. The turkey is exclusively a North American animal – it can only be found here.
  2. Benjamin Franklin considered the turkey to be a better choice for the American national bird than the bald eagle.
  3. Turkeys have excellent eyes! Not only can they see in color, but they also have a 270-degree field of vision and can see almost 3 times clearer than 20/20 vision.
  4. The color of a turkey’s head will change depending on its mood.
  5. Turkeys can run up to 25 mph and fly up to 60 mph.
  6. Wild turkeys settle overnight in trees.
  7. You can tell a turkey’s gender by its droppings.
  8. A wild turkey’s gobble can be heard from up to a mile away.
