Better let him do it, might be safer to have him in the car. A wild turkey bounced off my windshield once as I was driving down US 131, left a huge crack in the windshield but the turkey seemed unharmed. As God is my witness, I thought turkeys COULD'NT fly. - ThreadSky

Oh they can fly alright. I once knocked one out of the sky with the roof of a freightliner.

OMG! That episode. Definitely a IYKYK thing.

The wild ones can, but the domesticated ones are too "cackle-bird-like" (huge breast) to get off the ground.

They fly like chickens; a burst of fluttering wings that carries them up to a mile away from whatever is after them.

Falling like sacks of wet cement! I will never part with my WKRP box set. I've actually seen wild turkeys in my backyard, fly up into trees and sleep. Maybe I should put mirrors up in tree?

Wild Turkeys can fly 55mph!

Yikes. The one that cracked my windshield must've been chasing me down the highway!

They may not fly, but by god they can glide. Like god’s most unaerodynamic meatball

Shiny door. Turkeys get aggressive especially in mating season and can scratch up reflections on cars thinking it's a rival male. Umbrellas and noise are helpful to scare them off.

Unless they're organized and mount a counter attack.
