Are turkeys human-aggressive?

This is my first year with turkeys. They're free range; our chicken coop has a fence, no ceiling.

The four Narragansetts are 4 months old (they look identical, so I can't tell for sure if I have any hens) and although they don't bother me, they'll closely follow and strut around anyone new. Typically, will they get aggressive? Does feather display precede an attack?
 
If they strut and display they are most likely Jakes (young toms) Seldom do these birds get aggressive, except for mating season, and not then all the time. Sounds like you just have a couple of young show offs. Turkeys are fun birds to raise, you'll, love them.
