Audubon Blog: Playing the numbers game with turkeys
But since we’re a magazine that loves to write about birds, here are some fun numbers about turkeys—the wild kind—from the National Wild Turkey Federation, the PBS documentary “My Life as a Turkey” (which we’ll review later this week), Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the U.S. Census Bureau.

There are a ton of pretty amazing Thanksgiving-related stats in general, like the fact that by the end of this year, the U.S. will have produced somewhere around 750 million pounds of cranberries (not all for the one November meal, of course) or that the average American consumed more than 13 pounds of turkey during 2009 alone. Kind of crazy.
