why DO they cross the road?

These are wild turkeys. We have a pretty large population in the North Country, and lots of them around my house. I saw one just the other day in my driveway. This is a brood and a mom. There were 12 "little" ones--not very little at all. They were all a-twitter because I was trying to take their picture, and they kept running back & forth across the road. Honestly, some birds are really dumb. Turkeys are rumored to be so stupid that they'll drown in a rainstorm if they turn their heads toward the sky and open their mouths. I've heard that from lots of people, but why would a bird do that?
