Here's an interesting video of a man talking to turkeys. I saw a video of a local hunter speaking to a flock of turkeys last weekend. I was amazed at his ability to make them listen to what he was saying.

Hey, it worked. They all ran away and left my pet grouse alone.

He's spent some serious time doing that

Always stop and watch this when it's on PBS.

I talk to the gang of 5 all the time, they purr and cluck and I think they're saying " just throw the corn down!"

That’s because ole boy hatched and raised them.
“Illumination in the Flatwoods” is the book if I remember correctly. Spend enough time outdoors and you’ll learn lots of vocalizations. Quail are about like turkeys…huge vocalizations. I can tell you if a land predator and aerial predator spooked a covey just by sound. Same with turkeys. It’s really eye opening if you care about things like that.
And for his sounds, no he doesn’t sound like a real turkey, but that’s the sounds he would make when they were still in the egg and when they hatched, he was the parent to them.
