Turkeys are GIANT birds that live in North America. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin wanted the Turkey to be the National Bird of the United States? It really is an impressive bird - wild turkeys get up to around 30 pounds. That’s probably why they are associated with family feasts in America. But how much do you know about the turkey?

For instance, did you know that turkeys can fly? Wild Turkeys, that is. Domesticated turkeys have gotten too big to fly around. But they can still run very fast!

And what are all those complicated structures on a turkey’s head? Wattle, carbuncle, snood, beard? Watch our video and find out!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Socratica Kids out there!

Let us know in the comments what you do to celebrate Thanksgiving, or if you live somewhere else!

Gobble Gobble!
