    From gathering poults to finding a mate, wild turkeys make a vast array of sounds. Below are common calls you can hear in the turkey woods -- COMPLETE WITH AUDIO SAMPLES:

    CLUCK -- The cluck consists of one or more short, staccato notes.

    PUTT -- The putt is a single note, generally associated as an alarm.

    TREE CALL -- The tree call is usually a series of soft muffled yelps given by a roosted bird.

    PLAIN YELP OF HEN -- The yelp is a basic turkey sound. It is often delivered in a series of single note vocalizations.

    CUTTING OF EXCITED HEN -- A series of fast, loud, erratic single notes is referred to as cutting.

    ADULT HEN ASSEMBLY CALL -- The adult hen assembly call is a series of loud yelps in order to assemble her flock or young poults.

    FLY DOWN CACKLE -- The cackle is generally associated with movement.

    KEE KEE RUN -- The kee kee is the lost call of young turkeys and variations made by adult birds.

    PURR -- Purring is a soft, rolling call turkeys make when content. It can usually be heard by feeding birds.

    CLUCK AND PURR -- The cluck and purr is single note or notes often associated with flock talk or the feeling of contentment.

    Why do dogs bark like crazy at each other?

    Who said, "So whata gonna do, let go the dogs or the bee's or the dogs who have bee's in their mouths so when they bark the bee's come out and sting you?"

    Given that humans have selectively bred horses, cats and dogs over thousands of years, why is it that dogs show much more diversity in shape and size than the other two? In other words, the smallest and largest horse or cat are still "horse or cat shaped" but dogs seem to differ remarkably more in size and shape.
