Yes! They definitely do. I live in NEPA and around dawn about 2 weeks ago my husband and I were having coffee and we started seeing turkeys dive bombing out of the trees. It was quite interesting. Then just on Christmas Eve, I was home early from work and around 4:30 right before the sun went down, about 6-8 turkeys all kind of assembled into a line went up on my neighbors septic mound and started running and flew up into the trees one by one. It was crazy. So, yes wild turkeys sleep in trees.

No.

If you see any turkeys hanging upside down, and quite still, they are probably not sleeping.

Peacocks and turkeys fly very similar. The peacock will fly up into trees. The turkeys do not fly into trees, but they could if they wanted to.

Yes. They sleep in trees. This protects them from predators at night.

Well, apparently they do because I have seen my 3 week old turkey in a standing position with it's head hanging and asleep twice today. It looks weird! lol
