Turkeys do not drown because of the rain. Although there are a lot of statements mentioning that Turkeys tend to look up at the sky to watch the rain until they die, these sayings are not enough to make it a fact. The idea of Turkeys watching up the sky to look at the rain is nullified because Turkeys have monocular vision; this means that Turkeys have no ability to focus on the same image at a time. On some occasions though, Turkeys tend to tilt their heads towards the sky and remain like that for a moment, but this is not because they are dense creatures, this is because of their inherited condition called tetanic torticollar spasms.
