I agree they are beautiful and it is amazing how they get their fairly heavy bodies up in the air. Male wild turkeys weigh between 11 to 24 pounds or 5 to 11 kilograms. I read that an Andean Condor can weigh up to 15 kilograms (California Condor the same as a Turkey).

Ha ha, Chaplin is right. Turkey vultures may look a bit like turkeys but I would not serve a turkey vulture on the Thanksgiving table.

Yes you are right. They fly well and they are not stupid. Getting a turkey as my son did above was not easy. On another occasion we tried to sneak up on turkeys using bow and arrow. We were super quiet but it didn’t work.

Yes I believe you are right. The “all of the above” approach, a little bit of everything can be more impactful that going all out with just one thing. Reducing red meat by 90% matters a lot more than the last 10%. Avoiding unnecessary driving, driving a hybrid, having one car instead of two, can do more to reduce emissions than buying and driving two EVs.

Like me, you do small things to try to help to climate change crisis. Hopefully, these small things all add up.

Chaplin: “NOT the same thing.”

We startled a flock of them once on a walk with our dogs and they took to the trees en masse, which was quite a sight, not to mention a ruckus. (It is not at all easy to sneak up on a wild turkey. Some people may think turkeys are stupid things that stare up at the sky during rainstorms with their mouths agape and thus drown, but that is far from the case.)
