Actually, this is very unlikely to happen to a wild turkey, since they’re a very common and familiar animal and have been observed in the wild for many years.  Humans, however, aren't a familiar animal to turkeys, so they might be more easily alarmed by a human than by a wild predator, and this could explain how some turkeys could be hurt by a human.

Hmmm. I’m not sure. I think it depends on the type of turkey and its health. It’s definitely something to be aware of if you’re out in a heavy rain with them. They can really drown, so it’s best to keep them under cover or in a way that allows them to keep their head up.

Is it true that turkeys will drown, if you leave them out in the rain sometimes? I've heard they aren't smart enough sometimes to move their head, so that the water doesn't run into their lungs.

I’m afraid it’s true, if it’s a small or young turkey, it can die if it’s left in the rain.

I've been trying to figure this out, because some people say it's a myth. Are turkeys that stupid?
