They are an awkward bird and cannot fly much but they can fly up in a tree...out of the way of most predators. I saw a fox stalking one once and finally the turkey got sick of it and flew up in a branch until the fox got sick of it and wandered off. They do not have nests so's to speak. They hide their young in the grass. One day i was walking in the field and a turkey flew up in my face.....that was some surprise and a little baby scurried out. They are heavy and awkward but they keep the grasshoppers and crickets down by feeding on them.

How high up do the turkeys go? do they have nests like squirrels? We have over 30 here, probably about 60 by now from what i hear. do they each take a tree or a branch. they must be heavy. thanks for your answers.
