Two ways in which male turkeys (toms) and female turkeys (hens) communicate during courtship are:
Tree call: The tree call is a vocalization method which is used by members of a flock when they are roosting in a tree and helps them in communication so that they can locate each other;turkeys of both sexes tree call in the morning after they wake up letting other turkeys know that everything is well
Cutting: It is a series of loud, sharp clucks strung together in a fast sequence which often gets mixed with yelping which is used by lost or lonely hens searching for other turkeys, and is also used by hens in the spring season to announce to males that they are ready for mating
