Impressive birds with vibrant personalities

Meet Our Turkeys

Turkeys are much more impressive than many people realize! These large birds are incredibly intelligent, social, and full of personality. Watch the males (toms) display their magnificent tail feathers in a stunning fan!

Our turkeys are curious and friendly, often approaching visitors to investigate. They make a variety of sounds, from the iconic gobble to soft purrs and clucks. Each turkey has its own unique personality!

Turkeys are highly social birds that form strong flock bonds. They\'re also surprisingly athletic - wild turkeys can fly up to 55 mph for short distances and run up to 25 mph on the ground!
