How Long Is a Turkeyに関する専門家の意見を分かりやすく解説いたします。

Alright, you want long? I’ll give you long. The heaviest turkey ever recorded weighed 86 pounds—that’s a medium-sized dog. But length-wise, let’s talk about the amazing tail-fan spread. According to the National Wild Turkey Federation, the longest tail feathers recorded from a wild gobbler measured a jaw-dropping 29.5 inches. That’s almost the entire length of a store-bought bird, just in tail.

So, if you laid that tom out full length, beak to tail tip, you’d be looking at a bird that’s close to 5 feet long. He could stand next to a small adult human and stare at their chin. It’s a good thing they can’t fly very far, or we’d be living in their world, hiding from the gobble.
