- The gobble: This is the deep, resonant sound that male turkeys make to attract females during mating season.
- The cluck: This is a short, high-pitched sound that female turkeys make to communicate with their young or to warn them of danger.
- The putt: This is a soft, low-pitched sound that both male and female turkeys make to communicate with each other.
- The cackle: This is a loud, high-pitched sound that turkeys make when they are excited or alarmed.
Turkeys also communicate through body language. For example, they may puff up their feathers to make themselves look bigger and more intimidating, or they may droop their wings to show that they are submissive.
Understanding turkey communication can be helpful for hunters, farmers, and birdwatchers who want to interact with these animals.
