Petting Zoo: Turkey Wobbles Away From Being Thanksgiving Dinner

When most of you think of turkeys, does your stomach growl for Thanksgiving dinner? Do you hear them gobbling?

Male turkeys are known as "gobblers." They gobble to attract females hens. Other common sounds gobblers and hens make include purrs, yelps, and kee-kees.

Turkeys aren't just noisy. They are also speedy fellows! They can fly up to 55 miles-per-hour and run up to 25 miles-per-hour.
