Thank you for sharing this spectacular video of your wild turkey pals Dave. It is really well done and I enjoyed it very much. Also, great information on the turkeys and their habits in the comments. Awesome stuff! 🦃
pixiecropolis pixiecropolis I did notice quite a few videos that I’m interested in watching, also some that I think my son would enjoy. We were just discussing the Titanic yesterday so I’ll play that video this evening when we are all home from work and school. I saw many videos on various Boston / Massachusetts/ New England topics, I’d love to see your experiences in my neck of the woods! The other travel videos look very interesting as well. We enjoy history and travel in our home and I see that you’ve got those topics covered. Oh, at least one other 🦃 video and a baby fowl thumbnail that we will have to check out! It looks as though you’ve got many videos of interest for myself and my family so I subscribed. I look forward to catching up with your 100+ pre-existing contributions to TH-cam and any further that you post. Thank you for your kind reply Dave. Have a wonderful week! ❄️🏈🦞🧣⛄️Mel
A long time ago, we were attending a local church function around Thanksgiving. We had our 4 year old in tow, he was getting bored, my wife was busy, and I was even more bored than the baby. He came up to me, and said "Daddy, come see the turkeys." I assumed he was talking about picture the day care kids had posted up on the walls. I declined and continued to read my book. Alan was quite persistent, pulling my leg, "Come see the turkeys!" I relented and walked with him to a large picture window. My first ever encounter with wild turkeys, about 15 of them. They lived in a patch of woods across the street from the church, and were having a grand time, knowing that it was their cousins and not them who would be served up the following week. Suburban Atlanta, around 1988. I learned that afternoon that when the kid says, "Daddy come see the ....." it's probably best to go with him. I still do.
I didn't know they could fly until one day I saw them taking off at our backyard to the top of the tree. It looks like they could only handle short distance flying since they are so heavy.
I knew they could fly. I almost got blasted by one that flew over the road. It takes awhile for them to get high enough to clear the car. I thought it was coming through the windshield. He made it but I nearly peed my pants.
Thanks, Lloyd. We live across from a large woods, and many animals come to visit us everyday. They have become our friends. I'm currently waiting for the first bear to show up. Dave Welsh
No, Luanne, turkeys don't nest in trees. They only sleep in them for protection. They do however build nests in deep underbrush to hatch their eggs. Dave
In fields and woods. The mother builds a hiding place for them when they are really small, but they grow quickly, and are able to follow the mother to forage. As they get bigger, they can start to fly a little, and will eventually follow the mother up into the trees at night. I have seen a mother fly from the nest to draw away a hungry fox. She flew only a few feet from the ground, so the fox thought he had a chance to catch her, but the babies remained safe. Dave Welsh
No, the moms hide the babies in the brush. They have the instinct to be still and quiet. The strongest baby is able to fly up into the trees in a few days, and the rest eventually follow. Dave
Well I’ll be. Just learn something. We have flocks of them in our neighborhood. I always wondered where they went. Never had a clue all my years on this planet that they flew.
Great video. we have a single female at our front door every morning down cape cod. We can't figure why she is not in a flock or has any male suitors. Any ideas?
Jan, the bird probably has a nest with eggs or babies some where in the woods. She is hungry, but leaves the nest to find food. Wait a bit, and she'll show up with the babies. Watch out for hawks!
We’ve got a lone turkey that roams around town separate from the other packs. He is a very interesting guy, he enjoys holding up traffic by lazily pecking at the tires of just about any vehicle he can approach while it’s stopped. That is something that I wonder all the time, what is it with the tire pecking? He has become such a legend that our town has made him our (unofficial) mascot and given him his very own Facebook page where people in town post videos and photos of his latest antics. Did you ever get a glimpse of the babies Jan?
If the chicks are too young to fly, the mother hides them in thick and thorny undergrowth for the night. I watched the largest of the chicks fly up to a branch to join its mother. His siblings will follow in a night ot two. Dave
@ludeman Too bad you have a poor attitude. It’s a nice video that’s informative. Just enjoy it for what it is. Maybe you’re just offering constructive criticism but it comes across as quite negative.
As the turkeys fly up towards the trees in Nov,, is it the ones that have gotten so fat that can't make it up,,,,,that are eaten for Thanksgiving??? Shotguns out someone yelling from the background "PULL" HAHAHAHAHAHA! Jk jk jk btw
In my village, we take shots at you. ;) You no like. hahahah No wall needed, you still scared and need big plane too fight me. Tunnel go under wall dummy. ;)
Don’t mind me I’m here because of Rick and morty just had to make sure if turkeys sleep on trees 😂🦃 🌳
Same bro 😎
Fr Lmaoo

OMG!!! I knew i'd meet others like me
I have four in my tree tonite. They have been blessing us with their presence the last few days.

This is a great video. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. I love the Wild Turkeys and we have many around in this area.
Came after Rick and Morty let’s see who else 🥴

Hello How are you ? I love and like pigeons, when I leave school I always feed them forever, thank you very much for sharing❤🎉
I didn't know they could fly until one day I saw them taking off at our backyard to the top of the tree. It looks like they could only handle short distance flying since they are so heavy.
I have a whole new respect for turkeys.
The president & morty sent me here
I have a group (flocks) that come to dine in my yard and surrounding wood. They are fun to watch fly up. Sound like helicopters.
I am from Thailand. I was one of them that never knew turkeys could fly. Thank you for your informative video clip.
Thank you for your comment. It;s always nice to know that someone is watching my videos. Dave Welsh - Pixie Video Productions
Omg the turkey music is incredible.
Beautiful video !🙏 🌲🌲🦃🏠🦃🌲🌲🙏A very special place !❤️
Something I never knew...THNX for schooling me.
Thank you. That was fascinating.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
I just learned two things. Turkeys can fly. And turkeys sleep in trees. Why the fuck am I just learning this now? 😂
Perhaps because you are not fortunate enough to live in a 2 acre woods. Dave
Turkeys are very beautiful😀🎋
I knew they could fly. I almost got blasted by one that flew over the road. It takes awhile for them to get high enough to clear the car. I thought it was coming through the windshield. He made it but I nearly peed my pants.
Sleeping in trees deprives our coyotes of a turkey dinner.
Nice informative Video. I learned something today.
Thanks, Lloyd. We live across from a large woods, and many animals come to visit us everyday. They have become our friends. I'm currently waiting for the first bear to show up. Dave Welsh
Excellent video!
Awesome footage..I owe my coworker 20 bucks
Who knew, right? Lol
Not safe if the local bob cat watches them go to bed. He will climb up and get a meal.
I always wondered where and how they sleep good video
Thank you for watching my turkey video. I have about 200 other videos on TH-cam. You can see them at th-cam.com/users/pixiecropolis Dave Welsh
If there is a wind storm during the night what do they do?
Do you sell wild turkey eggs, I am from Meghalaya India.
I like your video b/c it's instructive, BUT don't you think you're making the turkeys weak by FEEDING THEM?
Flying bowling balls
Is this where they make their nests?
No, Luanne, turkeys don't nest in trees. They only sleep in them for protection. They do however build nests in deep underbrush to hatch their eggs. Dave
I wonder where they raise their young
In fields and woods. The mother builds a hiding place for them when they are really small, but they grow quickly, and are able to follow the mother to forage. As they get bigger, they can start to fly a little, and will eventually follow the mother up into the trees at night. I have seen a mother fly from the nest to draw away a hungry fox.

They rost in the trees
I know the perfect spot to set up my blind
HUMMM!I THOUGHT IT WAS STRIP CLUBS
given how fat turkeys are i didn't know they could fly that high
They roost in trees.
what is the music used in this video? Also when do wild turkeys come out?
The music comes from a video producer's paid subscription to a production facility, Chess Media. Dave
What about mom's,do they stay with babies on ground?🤔🤔
No, the moms hide the babies in the brush. They have the instinct to be still and quiet. The strongest baby is able to fly up into the trees in a few days, and the rest eventually follow. Dave
Where was this filmed?
Ipswich, Massachusetts
Well I’ll be. Just learn something. We have flocks of them in our neighborhood. I always wondered where they went. Never had a clue all my years on this planet that they flew.
Really neat !
Great video. we have a single female at our front door every morning down cape cod. We can't figure why she is not in a flock or has any male suitors. Any ideas?
Jan, the bird probably has a nest with eggs or babies some where in the woods. She is hungry, but leaves the nest to find food. Wait a bit, and she'll show up with the babies. Watch out for hawks!
She may be a feminist

He has become such a legend that our town has made him our (unofficial) mascot and given him his very own Facebook page where people in town post videos and photos of his latest antics.
Did you ever get a glimpse of the babies Jan?
AW AW AW i think my turkeys flew away unless someone stole them before thanks giving.
what if they have chicks?
If the chicks are too young to fly, the mother hides them in thick and thorny undergrowth for the night. I watched the largest of the chicks fly up to a branch to join its mother. His siblings will follow in a night ot two. Dave
They rost in trees
gracias un viedo muy bonito y interesante

@ludeman Too bad you have a poor attitude. It’s a nice video that’s informative. Just enjoy it for what it is. Maybe you’re just offering constructive criticism but it comes across as quite negative.
and never shoot a roosting turkey!!!
As the turkeys fly up towards the trees in Nov,, is it the ones that have gotten so fat that can't make it up,,,,,that are eaten for Thanksgiving??? Shotguns out someone yelling from the background "PULL" HAHAHAHAHAHA! Jk jk jk btw
In my village, we take shots at you. ;) You no like. hahahah No wall needed, you still scared and need big plane too fight me. Tunnel go under wall dummy. ;)
