Driving down I-35 from Wisconsin to Oklahoma for Christmas and what happens? A frickin' turkey flys into my vehicle and smashes my windshield. Here I sit in some small town in Missouri until tomorrow when I can get it fixed. Thank goodness I just got a laptop so at least I have something to do while I wait. Just my luck.To top it off, no bar here at the motel. Guess I better go look for a liquor store:banghead:
Just my luck

The lady here said that's probably what it was. :shrug: She told me there are turkeys everywhere around here. Whatever it was, it was a huge bird.
Wow, I am bored. Now I have been reading about wild turkeys.:mj07: Copied this from an article I found.
Wild turkeys can glide as far as a mile without flapping their wings. They can fly for short distances up to 88 km/hr (55 miles/hour). Wild turkeys can run 29 km/hr (18 miles/hour).

Oh yeah turkeys fly. Someone hits one around here every year. You're doing 50 mph and hit one you know it. Scares the chit out of you :scared
That same thing actually happend to my Dad also when I was a kid in Oklahoma. He was picking glass out of his face for weeks. You are unlucky the Turkey hit your car but very lucky you did not end up in the hospital. Pretty funny though. I am glad deer do not fly lol!:142smilie
I was going 70. Talk about scaring the crap out of me. Had to change underwear when I got to the motel.
He said turkey, not penguin.
They can fly very well; they just spend the majority of the daylight hours on the ground. They roost in trees at night.
