Yes, wild turkeys can fly.
Short distances that is, and at considerable speed.
Though they generally only do so to escape predators or to sleep safely in trees at night.
Domesticated turkeys no longer have the ability to fly, mostly due to being
overweight and kept caged as they await their ultimate fate of visiting your table.
