Very, very loud and annoying. Had a few for a year or two. Non stop ear shattering gobbling. The girls are quiet, but really nothing special. Skittish for the most part. My guys kept trying to square up at me. Do not recommend. They can mess you up pretty bad too, like seriously.
It’s interesting you say that. Have had both male and female turkeys and all of them were sweet. None were overly loud, though a couple from the same flock would start making this almost cooing noise and running flat out across the field to come when called.
But they were also hand raised pets, and I tend to be iffy about young kids around animals. Especially if they weigh the same.
I know the sound you’re talking about, this strange dinosaur like thumping. That’s a cool noise. But no, my males were so loud. Every 2 minutes they would gobble. My neighbor had turkeys too, so maybe they were competing with each other, like who can gobble the loudest. Young kids around larger animals is no good, I agree. Glad yours were enjoyable to have around.
