Wild turkeys fly very short distances, kinda like a jump on the moon. They freak out and sling feathers everywhere, travel in groups, and collectively make a fuck-ton of noise.

I’m pretty sure we started eating them just to shut them the fuck up.

We started eating them because they are delicious.

Turkey tastes like packing material. We started eating them because we were starving in the wilderness.

Damn, you've either had horrible turkeys, or you have delicious packing material. That said, I read in The Tenth Legion, which is a book by a legendary turkey hunter, that compared to wild turkey, farmed turkeys taste like compressed cardboard. So I guess you're onto something. Try a free-range turkey next time, or a wild turkey if you're able.
