Did You Know?
"Fowl play" sounds like "foul play" - criminal activity! Fowl refers to birds like chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Wild turkeys can fly at speeds up to 55 mph in short bursts and run up to 25 mph on the ground. Benjamin Franklin famously advocated for the turkey as America's national bird instead of the bald eagle, calling turkeys "respectable birds"!
