How smart are Turkeys (the ones we eat for Thanksgiving)

I knew a Turkey from France and he was Hungary all the time.liked Greece'y food.but he could not add for anything.lol

I guess you are in a fowl mood for asking these questions. However I shall dignify you with a serious reply.

They are not very smart as they are the ones who got caught.

Hope this helps

Not certain, but I do not think they rank very high up in IQ as far as birds go.

You've reminded me of a funny story.
My father lives WAY upstate New York. What my 'city' family refers to as the 'boonies')
He went out to cut the grass one day and noticed a wild turkey (not the bottled variety) walking up the road. To the right of the turkey, on the grass, stood a sign that someone had recently posted that read ''Turkey Shoot'' with an arrow pointing in the exact direction the turkey was walking toward.

All I know about turkeys is that if we can not make a nice sauce to serve it with, I cannot eat it. I find it tasteless! *wink*

The chicken is a bit tastier but it gets .scared easily!!
I do not know about their I.Q, either. hehehee

Do not know about turkeys, but some breeds of chicken are more intelligent than others. We've had some chickens that were smart enough to make good pets.and some that were literally too dumb to live.

I'd guess the intelligence has been bred right out of commercial poultry by now, though. That is what I tell myself when Thanksgiving rolls around, anyway :).

not too smart if millions of people eat them yearly for Thanksgiving GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!!

Let me guess, you got a PETA activist upset ! LMAO ! I have no clue what is wrong with people but those are the ones, eating a nice juicy Steak or a deep fried chicken (when no one can see them)!! Let is face it, the Native Indians and Pilgrims ate Turkey, brought it into the Culture now face the freaking music and dance to it !!

hahaah thats a good one smart enough to know when there day is to be eaten thats funny they dont seem that smart of animals to me they just gobble and walk around

I know this because we used to have some when I was a kid:

They are so dumb that when it rains, they go outside and look up at the sky to see where the water is coming from and the rain runs down their nostrils and they drown themselves.

For serious.

smart enough to know when their big day is.
