Yes the Turkey Trot was named after Turkey for its short jerky steps it takes while walking.
Turkey Trot
A wild turkey can fly up to 55mph. over a short distance.
All wild turkeys are able to fly. However, the turkey you are used to eating on holidays probably never flew and may not be able to fly.
Turkeys don't fly a lot. They can fly short distances, and they fly down and up from their roosting trees, but they do fly.
According to the NWTF (National Wild Turkey Federation) Turkeys can run at speeds up to 25 mph, and they CAN FLY up to 55 mph.

Turkeys tail feathers remain open whereas peacocks can close or open them. Turkeys can live in the wild but they usually live on farms and peacocks live in the wild. Peacocks keep to themselves and are pretty quiet, but turkeys are loud. :) Hope I helped.
Wild Turkeys have been clocked going up to 25 miles per hour

Baby Turkeys are called Poults...apparently Baby turkeys are called poults- short for poultry.
