They can fly, but more so to get up in a tree than to go somewhere. Source is that I used to have turkeys until some stray dogs killed them all.

They will definitely fly to get away. They can fly 50 mph, which is crazy for a 30 lb bird.

Yeah I meant like they're not gonna fly long distances

That's true, but I think it's amazing that they can fly at all, let alone fly wicked fast.

Are you from Boston?

I am from the 80's and 90's, when "wicked" was a commonly used adjective in pop culture.

You'd have to fly that fast if their wingspan isn't large enough. Would probably have to be like 20-30 ft for a 30 lb bird.
