I've hit birds before on my bike but don't want to have that encounter with one of these, it could end very badly.

Wild turkeys. They where reintroduced a few decades back. I've seen flocks a few dozen large around here. They weigh up to around 20lbs give or take. Enough to ruin your day if you have the misfortune of hitting one at speed.
