You ever run into a flock of wild turkeys on the highway after dark? (not literally, my car came with brakes and I have eyes). They just stand there looking at you like you crashed the party. Great birds, turkeys. Great stupid birds.
Not in the car but they definitely roam in walking ‘packs’ like deer at my wife’s parents house. Leave the woods to forage in the morning. Return to the woods at sundown to roost.
I think some of them are just lazy. I had the shit scared out of me when a group flew right over my head in the woods a while back, they looked plenty graceful lol
There is no sound more majestic than young wild turkeys trying to roost at sunset and loudly crashing into the side of a tree and falling to the ground only to make the attempt once more.
I often get the feeling they're laughing at us from the sky, struggling with anxiety on the ground while they can flit away whenever. Though this doesn't include mourning doves, they are one of the most anxious creatures I've ever seen lol
