how far can a turkey fly

Wild turkeys are capable of flight, but they are not as adept at flying as some other bird species. They can fly short to medium distances, typically up to:

1. 100 yards (91 meters) to 1/4 mile (400 meters) at a time, with some birds flying up to 1/2 mile (800 meters) or more in a single flight.
2. At speeds of around 30-50 mph (48-80 km/h).
3. At altitudes of up to 100 feet (30 meters) or more.

However, domesticated turkeys, which are bred for their meat, are often heavier and less agile than their wild counterparts. As a result, they may not be able to fly as far or as well.

It’s worth noting that turkeys are generally more comfortable running or walking than flying, and they tend to use flight as a means of escape or to roost in trees at night.
