What is a wild turkey thinking?
Standing in the road, fanned out and unhurried. You will be waiting.
Wild turkeys live in a strict pecking order and they extend it to whatever else is around, including people. A bird that does not move for your car has placed you below it, and backing down confirms the arrangement.
Worth knowing they are not the slow bird they look. Wild turkeys run at around 40 km/h and fly perfectly well over short distances - they are standing there because they have decided to, not because leaving is difficult.
