The meleagris gallopavo domesticus 'Black' and the Domestic turkey are actually the same species, but while domesticated turkeys are usually bred to be white in color, the wild ones are brown and black. Although it's a heavy, ground-dwelling bird, its wings are quite powerful in short bursts, allowing the meleagris gallopavo domesticus 'Black' to reach speeds up to 60 miles per hour.
