- "Turkeys are native to North America, and turkey hunting is big all across the continent. It's so popular that hunters are warned not to stalk them in case they might be heading towards another hunter's ambush. Turkeys are land roaming animals but are known to be able to fly around 400.00 m in a single go. They can easily climb trees and enjoy using them as hiding areas from ground predators while they roost. They're known to be very unpredictable and extremely easy to spook. As part of the Galliformes bird order, they are closely related to other game birds such as pheasants, partridge, and quail. Males are called jakes, gobblers or toms, with a female is called a jenny."
