Wild turkeys run circles around their domestic counterparts, when it comes to brain power.
When in the turkeys' presence, I feel dull and insensitive by comparison. Frequently I experience genuine embarrassment as I have occasion to let my ignorance and stupidity known to them in some way. Sometimes, I get collective looks that I can only interpret as incredulity. I never get over my amazement at looking out the kitchen window to see a 15-pound tom turkey placidly eating millet next to peeps that barely outweigh an Eisenhower dollar. Many people are unaware that turkeys aren't native to California.
