There's Charles to have you checked Brian there's, Jerry Jerome Roland can come up with avian influenza. This stuff, you should know about Turkey, yet so Anita just apologize at the beginning of this episode, because I could not
and I know I will not be able to help myself from making Vernon Florida references to the great great die
Mary from Arrow Morris, one of the prominent about the city
Vernon Florida, the nineteen eighties and inland forty Panhandle small town,
and one of the lead characters, and then that documentary was
Mr Henry shapes he was a turkey hunter and all it does is talk about Turkey, hunting in
I know it by heart me and all my friends know it by heart and we quoted a lot. So it's really really hard not to just talk like Henry Shipes. It's all tryna
you it's so random that ninety nine point nine percent of the people- it won't be worth it for, like the hundred people. Little thinking
best thing ever. I don't know man that I've found over the years that it's good to cater those people, sometimes to you know I might throw in any case won the nl, explain what I'm talking about maybe, but we do need to thank the Humane society for what the bulk of this
search came from this really great great great article that someone named
person at a humane society put together from a list of great great sources. So I was surprised to see something so thorough
was really great. It was written by the mysterious Tom Tee
is really in favour of Turkey's booze suspiciously.
And I'm Thanksgiving Day too. So we also need to apologize, for we are not trying to guilty
Anything maybe dies into this one for a week. I will say that
like I'm not eating Turkey anymore after this, and not merely a kind of pain, because Turkey is my favorite, my favorite meat of all time is Turkey. I know I'm sorry, then it is tough new Turkey's were pretty cool.
Pretty smart, but is it is it is time to read the stuff and still slice into that bird? What's funny to hear that they are smart because they have such a great reputation were being just totally stupid
but it turns out that that's really not right at all. It is at best a human misinterpretation, maybe at worst a cynical justification for eating them
but one of the first things that will remark about Turkey's right out the gate that a lot of people don't know is that Ben Franklin was more.
In favour of Turkey's as America's national emblem as far as birds go, then he was the ball legal. He had a big problem with the fact that Eagles Donna,
SARA Lee Hut as much as they bully other birds for whatever they just hunted. He said that the eagle does not get his living honestly. He steals from the fish hawk and it's too lazy to fish for himself the Turkey. How are
is much more respectable. The true original native and a turkey would not hesitate to attack a grin dear of the british Guard.
who should presume to invade his farm yard and after researching Turkey's, I daresay his problem
right about that yeah and the other thing that I'm surprised you didn't mention was
also by the way males her
he's during the breeding season, literally their head and neck, turns red white and blue. Yes, I notice that too
tat is so obvious. Such an obvious pick like
at one point, during the year you gotta red white and blue bird yeah, exactly utility
while the eagle these attributes eagle. So
other thing. The other reason. Why am, I think, a lot of people think that Franklin said that the that that needed to be like the great seal of the United States? That is not the case. He instead, I think proposed Moses is the great seal which is odd, but another check in Ben Franklin proved. Turkey stance is that Turkey's are indigenous to North America and there
actually we're down the two species, one the com in Turkey, which is the kind that you or I or anybody else living north of Mexico are familiar with there.
all over the place there all over the United States and Canada, but the weird thing
There is also Turkey's in central
South America and it turns out that there are really hardy, adaptable species and again way smarter than thing. You proud
they give him credit for yeah. I mean Turkey's they do like warm weather, but there they are,
survive in a light. Like you said, I remember a varied
Frankly, when I lived in New Jersey one snowy morning, looking into
Backyard, and there were it was like a painting or something there
three dear and six wild her,
Why is walking together through the snow in the backyard?
and
I didn't know that they would venture that far North, but they are all over the place
they are
did you say the name of the the the ones in Mexico? No, the
ocellated Turkey's here in the UK
peninsula in Guatemala. Belize there
different. Looking in the turkeys, we know their smaller little shorter, they have sort of,
programmes, copper, bronze, green plumage,
and I think the met the male Turkey's have larger spurs
and do not have beards and will explain what
it is in a minute yet so, if you're talking, she talk in Turkey
specifically male Turkey, another
former gamblers or Tom's, very young,
young males, they're called Jake's love that
Don't females are hands and then hatchlings babies of both sexes are called ports. P, o you l ts,
yeah the adult females going to be about eight eleven pounds, adult males about seventeen to twenty one,
we mention you know. If you look at
Turkey. They got all kinds of crazy stuff going,
on their head? They look. They look like you know something
a zombie movie and
every single adult turkey has what's called a snoop since I got your suit
Do an ado app
articles of those those big fleshy things at the bottom of the neck. Follow this. That's nude is the stuff that
troops from the top of the head and sort of flaps over across the bill.
in that do lap is that little thin skinned under the throat that so Toggle Yang. If it's just one thing of sky,
and that goes vertically down the neck in the front- is Adieu epithet
as more than one it's
all the waddle. But these these things, the current goals, this nude and the dewlap, are the things that make turkey.
Outrageously ugly, to humans by radically those are the things that attract other turkey's near they, like you, said, change, color their unique.
each Turkey and they are like
only a fury of female turkey you're. Looking for a guy,
I was the longest nude, that's an attractive thing to you, so I find it really great that, like we're like that is just those things are just so ugly. They could stop clock and to the Turkey is like man
nude body here, looking good, Yannick, Colonel
mood and do I would be like a great and
for a comedy, bluegrass trio that would be on he higher lie
so the beer that I mentioned two way we learn in Florida reference paranoia for most,
key strains: the males are the only ones who have a beard.
that is this, it's a feather its modified, feather sort of in the upper chest
keeps growing its
Ok, you know if you
one of those rat tales insurgency
would grow out for life,
here references I guess
about three to five inches a year in, if Vernon Florida is to be is for import is correct, then
MR shapes and point out that the long
the beard, the more sort of prize trophy it is if you're Turkey Hunter, Sir, like that be again
a large rack of antlers because they mount the beard
on little black right right. The other thing about males
is that you can differentiate from a female. While females have feathers, they got the back. There,
so it looks like they have a little more going on males, do not favour bear head and then males also have spurs like gum, do clause alma
come on offer their legs and of hens. Typically don't write
and, like I said those males during breeding season, they turn their.
Articles go, read the white.
the crown of the head and then the neck and decide the face: go blue,
And there is nothing more american than that. It's true, but that's just the goblet
right. The head of the dorms: don't turn yeah yeah so, like you said, and I think I said first, you can find Turkey's all over the place and all sorts of
conditions, whether it's hot out, whether its covered in snow, whether there
dear around. Who cares Turkey's
down for hang out. They just need- or I should say, prefer certain kinds of habitats, huge trees in a mature forest and typically they want
mast bearing trees and mastic. To remember what we're talking about recently, oh, I think it was squirrels hiding nuts, yet masters like one
my favorite words of all time. It's too so earthy unnaturalized love it, but
means like acorns and like tree nuts, that that you can find North America and that's one of the things that Turkey's ie, so they need lots,
of trees. They have lots amassed. The other thing is that trees are roosting sites Turkey's, although there not typically thought of, is able to fly, they can't fly for short distances and they roost in trees at night with
I don't think I've ever seen to Turkey in a tree, I haven't either. You know see Turkey's quite a bit on the side of the road or taking hikes and stuff like that, but I guess it's
as at night and that I can at night.
Announcing that Turkey in a tree. I assure you,
because they're diurnal right. We are
Santa? That must be the reason like always he, Turkey, shortages, Peck and round. There are no real. I think that's legitimate hours laughing cause,
So if you made a sound like the turkeys were hiking going well
technically. I guess I got there. You would think big
these attacks on in vast appears. Fifteen all Syria
but you mention their range. Their home ranges what it's called in their homework:
is dictated by how much food is around, how much of that masters around and
they use
A pretty big ranges anyway. But if there's a lot of food around then
they may maintain like four hundred to a thousand acres, which is huge and that's if it's about
If they don't have a lot of food around, they had been known to maintain ranges of eight thousand acres or more and travel.
Fifty miles to different home ranges if they can't like they don't
play they dont migrate. But the birds maintain
eight thousand acres of travelling fifty miles there their migrating around kind of yeah, but I mean there must be a really poor habitat because Turkey's or not picky eaters em, in addition, amassed village everything from seeds to lizards and basically anything they find that chock full of protein. They typically like things like seeds, plants,
fruit, berries, I kind of stuff, but Billy live animals. The leader, snake, yellow latest snake
in the crazy Europe, in particular
when the turkeys born the young Turkey, the port for the first week
you're their life there eating nothing by insects, constantly yeah
you know, that's why they prefer arrange they like that for,
spread they like the forest on the edge of some grassy areas, because that
gives them. They get some closer to those little insects that you're gonna find for those poles right, exactly that's actually, where Pulsar
when and raised as in the grassy area at the edge of a forest which is pretty cool and just quaint, is all get out. So it's like cottage corps
animals. If you think
that they may need to live near a Laker, something to get their water or a river stream,
What kind of wetland you're wrong
They love that kind of scenery, but they don't
for water. They can get water other water and take
imitation and they can get it from that morning. Do secular insects little small pools they can tell of forage through all that
to get enough water yeah. I mean him like when there's like a lot of snow on the ground, they dont hybrid date or anything where they go into light. This kind of, like a
hanging around the tree for download time, be a charmer for sure and the water and take us,
a little bit of snow that their eating off of the tree and the food is maybe just a butter to that they can find on the tree there sitting on
yeah, and you know they they do well. Turkey's are thriving. They eat a lot. They
one thing you will not see very much unless they're sick is skinny Turkey,
undernourished. Turkey's are pretty rare, like a set in lesser sums,
the disease or maybe
it's like in the middle of a really really long winter. They might that
then up a little bit, but Turkey's eat alight in their their generally pretty healthy and plump right so
we said their dire and all right. They they are active during the day dislike us humans in
said they eat a lot, so they spend a significant
amount of time eating
eat deli just about anything they can come across, but when they eat they eat the thing that their eating whole, especially for something soft like a bit
sorry right wages swallow haul, it could stage,
still on the way and they poop out whatever's left on the other side, but they also eat things like seeds in in knots in mast and they have a gizzard which is like a second stomach that hard stuff gets diverted to, and it's the stomach spit
equally, all muscle and they also eat, while their pecking around for food. They also eat little pebbles and stones and bits of like hard things like bone and those things stay in their gizzard and they become what are called gastro stones or gizzard stones, and they end up basically like oh, oh Rock, tumblr, that crushes up
like seeds and mass that can then be diverted over to the regular stomach for digestion. Just pretty cool
yeah. Another reason that I kind of identify with Turkey's is that day they do to you
alive. They they get me
feedin and stuff in exploring around scraping around pecking around on the ground. But after that,
be they
hang around for hours at a time,
preen they wore. It's called
dusting, when they just sort of move around in the loose soil, is a dirt bath. Yet
they kind of just rest basically
a few hours before sunset, and then they start feeding again and then this is this is amazing,
so right before nightfall, though they go back to those trees at night to sleep and if they get caught
sort of unaware is sort
a vampire and they look up in that sons going down. They will hall but back to their tree.
Like they can run
twenty miles an hour and fly in short, burst up to fifty.
Five miles an hour in back,
those trees because, once
comes if they are not in their little homestead.
It offers a lotta protection there
big time danger for predators? She came to see Turkey like Runnin backlog, applicable
the council may, I will go on border babies. So what's what I find interesting about him, too, is is
a lot of people are released. Turkey's are extremely good at seeing in hearing. We don't think that their very good at smelling, but there
site and their hearing, or so amazing that it really does matter about the smell. Apparently they have three times the occur,
city of the average humans eyesight.
In addition to that, they also seeing color, which is rare for a bird, and they also have between
two hundred and seventy and a three hundred degree feel the vision humans
about a hundred and eighty
and the reason why they can see so much around them is because a turkey's eyes are on the side of his head
turn the one hand gives them a different disadvantage. They don't have by now.
Vision like humans do so they have terrible depth perception, which is why you'll see footage of Turkey looking at something and it'll switch sides of his face that it's looking at you, because it's trying to discern depth
way, just kind of quickly creating binocular vision like a flip book, but what it
lacks him or vision. It makes up for with it's incredible hearing, because their hearing is such that they can. I do,
five the location of a sound
really really well, so they might not be able to see depth, but they can hear depth in it.
Into all the amazing so that they can see you think we should take a break. I just that's fine. I was gonna Keaton
and through the break, his arms is so lovely Turkey's right now it will be right back
hey friends, we
say about fight camp, the fun way to get the whole family motivated to be active and get fit by home boxing,
doing body weight, work out taught by real fighters. Yet fight can't brings the boxing Jim to you comes with.
all the gear you need, including the best free standing punching back on the market, plus its great for kids, and you can learn with highly qualified trainers, ranging from a pro ever made fighter and mother of two to a Kickboxing World Champion Chuck. The tried and fight camp offers flexible financing for his low,
zero percent AP are right now, as a limited time offer. You can try fight camp for thirty days with
money back guarantee just go to join fight, camp Dotcom, slashed stuff, that's right, trifle
camp for thirty days, and if you don't love it, though refund your money train like a fighter and
in your sweat into results. To try fight can, for thirty days, just go to join fight. Camp dotcom, slash
hey Chuck, did you know that Mcdonald's, which you tend to think of as a pretty huge global restroom,
is actually a local into a dried. Each Mcdonald's is owned and operate
by people who live where that Mcdonald's is. When you eat Mcdonald, your actually supporting american businesses,
maybe even your own neighbours, business yeah here also supporting farmers in
you're also supporting the Ronald Mcdonald House, charities and Ronald Mcdonald House charities, give families with sick kids a home away from home when they have to travel far for the care that they need, which is pretty great charity, if I do say so,
he has done great work over the years in the franchisees also care about their community. They give back by helping first responders. They have a program called thank you meal programme, which provides free food for essential health care
workers in first responders and when you own an operator Mcdonald's, you make a promise to serve the community where you do business and that's what this franchises do every day, which is why they say: Chuck Mcdonalds,
serving here,
so
You know before the break your talking about their hearing in Vernon Florida, which have you seen yet still so I
I'm not gonna see it to where the great documentaries there,
but Mr Shapes really gives the like. When you listen to this man talk and I'm not a hunter at all
but you really get a sense that Turkey hunting is one of
challenging hunts that you can undertake site because of how smart how smart they are, and he
as they are smart, Boyd
this guy's, how is like there, the area, but how smart they are in the net hearing like you, have to be so quiet in so all of you
movements have to be so deliberate, and even this
I dislike cracking of a stick that Turkey will put his head up.
Just be gone out of their. So, although
a hunter at all in and don't they would never shootin animal when you list,
this guy, you can't help, would be sort of impressed with or maybe just fall under his spell
how much he loved it on another. So dear so dear
these are really good. At hearing there really good at seeing in their easily spooked, which all combined makes some very difficult to hunt, yes,
yeah. So, as far as their flocking in their behaviors, they live in separate flocks. The the hens in the times do
and then once the spring comes around and the
he's got a longer and then the warmer temperatures sort of start coming in
in the males are gonna, leave their winter flocks and their agendas,
you know now it's time to party basically with the hints yeah they're gonna start
like many animals there are a lot of rituals
trying to get their attention their gobbling. They have a peak
a couple of peaks and gobbling and the first
at the very beginning of the breeding season,
when there are a lot of friends around and Europe
you're trying to make yourself known as a worthy male than you can have a second flock. After all,
most of the meeting has taken place there,
was gobbling going on and
but those males who didn't made, or maybe they did in their there really trying to
Another party, basically that's when their second peaches gonna happen right, but in between those two peaks there
less gobbling, because by that time the hands are like I'm into this, so the males will have to try is hard and apparently that so
in Peking Gobbling, is kind of the more desperate it's like at em. You know one. Fifty a m at the bar.
oh totally t like it does anyone anyone. So
the party may autonomic gonna. Anybody around now began to do it like the M, the neither the Roxbury guys, but their saint gobble and stared at him
I think it Tom can and will meet with multiple hands
and hands actually may breed with the same male more than once.
If anyone has made any argument that therein love
but you never know what say the very least they have chemistry there. Also polygamous,
Eastern while Turkey, they think that they,
I have a harem. Basically,
where you have a bunch of different hands with one time until they ve made it
if you are out West, you might see,
What's called a leg like system L K, which is basically a, I mean a sort of
group meeting in group group, gobbling like
bunch of times we get together and sorting able together wetlands
of siblings, Ike.
You know that you know those Carter boys they get together and put on quite a show for the Ladys back everything and that actually make sense.
Thus the harem makes sense, because there's just such an abundance of Turkey's that one, one Jake
one time can mate with
little hands all at once, and you know the species continues, but words more spread out
for them to all kind of come to one place. It makes sense because as much more convenient, but also because all these different displays of light
manliness of timeliness, I guess really good,
the hands in the mood, so a kind of gifts and prepared for mating much more quickly and efficiently to which is a real advantage of the of the Lex system
yeah and you actually did not mistake, because Jake's can mate
this way less successful because their Jake's, you get it
maybe there's some hands
that sit around and say like you now, I'm really more into Jake's than times.
It because it was like needs he I never.
but they do Jake's actually can mate. But you know because it's because there they attract females by those big shows and the best gobbles. There is usually not quite there
yeah and we'll talk a little bit about, I love. So if we always set up like all the stuff we're going to talk about in every episode and then we actually talked about, like maybe seventy percent of it, but there's actually there's hierarchies in Turkey flocks which we'll talk about but
when, like the Carter brother, show up burden, there's young Jake's, an older ones, depending
the dominance of the Turkey that Turkey is much more likely to actually mate, but all the turkeys will be starting their stuff.
The hands in the mood right really
This communal thing. That's it then actually make sense, because Turkey's it turns out are super super social animals which makes the fact that the hens one
they have made and go off to lay their eggs. They do that themselves is basically
one thing they do as individuals, but they do they basically to a hand. They will
They will find a nice grassy area at the entrance of a nice. Some wood.
they will start laying eggs and though
lay one egg and covered up then leave and next day, usually about the same time. Weirdly they come back
another it covered up and then is
startling more more eggs. They kind of reach like this critical threshold to wear their like. Ok,
I'm, I'm emotionally invested in these eggs. Now I'm just gonna stay around hearing guard them and then eventually incubate them and they do and then about
when he four hours before the egg, stirred to Hatch Chuck, they actually start making sounds basically saying em
I'm about to come out now yet
acute this little peeping sounds in this pecking with
This is where the cutest words I've ever seen. The first little hole that the
make from within the egg to get out is made with an egg tooth argued that it is very cute
give the fact, can you imagine seeing a little turkey egg piping, its it's
amazing in another hen
in France, because the hen starts to make little encouraging
looks like come along little nose. Let's get on
let's get out and
It could take about a day for all these ports to Hatch,
and they are very mobile from the time they are hatched, but they are also very closely by
to Mama Hen and siblings, for a little while Europe, a pretty short while for a couple of days
sit around together. They
They impression
on one another, and maybe one of the big thing,
They do. Is they learn? What Mamma sounds like we'll get
the calls later, but there's something card and called an alarm call, which is exact.
you think it is, it's very, very important way to say: hey everybody.
Get out of here. There's a you know, there's a
acount or bobcat in the woods or something
and they have to learn their own mothers alive.
call and that's what they are doing in large part for this first couple of days, yet in within the first couple days and actually young couple weeks, they can't fly
I so they're real vulnerable because remember the
the mom nests in in like grassland, not in the trees, so until they can fly, they can't roosten trees, so they're they're big defences to distance scatter in stay still,
yeah, unlike as in frozen still for up to a half an hour if they hear that alarm call these little baby. Turkey's it'll just free
he's like man against it's amazing. It is amazing one or two things
winner, mother hen gives birth to a brood of ports, their use,
thirdly, there's a one to one ratio between males and females between Jackson in baby hands, which I found pretty amazing unless chuck
thing else happens yeah. This is, you know I feel like it. Usually when we cover animals, there's always one really astounding
adaptation that we cover a lot of times more than one, but in the case of Turkey's they these hands. If they don't find a maid,
dont made. They can still have little babies through pay,
no genesis they can
is viable eggs. It doesn't,
Then a lot it seems like and embryos
very few of them survive, but it is. It is medic
impossible for him.
to you to produce a little baby eggs and have one and if,
I do have one and it actually lives. It is going to be a male hatchling, always right, which is key
and to me I think,
it's an eleven. If it's an evolutionary adaptation museum
they would be female
I don't know what it's like bees, like our art on on fertilized b,
eggs. Don't they turn into male drones, and it's just the fertilize once they become female workers. Remember
if I remember correctly, so it's weird that it would. It would happen like that. But yet it's a pretty rare occurrence that Parthenon Genesis, Yonah yeah, so
Now you ve got the other all the blue pulse of hats, the knave they ve been running round, eating bugs in the grass and it's been about. Seventy
days, another complies with their stirring to roost in the tree and at first adore Billy, there's still scared little bee.
so they roost under their mothers wing at night, but as they get a little more confident, they'll, Sir, to spread out.
Some of the surrounding branches of the tree in the roost.
you ve got now has a new flock of Turkey's, but, like I was saying, Turkey's are extremely social creatures, so those flocks typically
and to join other flax, especially mother. Hands with new ports will live with other flocks of thumb. Mother hands with their own ports and they'll become these kind of, like huge mega flags, were in a few
through at night it seemed like every branch of every tree around. You was filled with Turkey's, and that would happen probably some time in the spring,
like the early mid spring after the eggs of hatched in the babies are all now roosting in the trees,
mom's, yeah and here's another one that really took them. My heart strings
a lot of times once they have joined these other flocks
If you are the only if you don't have any siblings, if you're the only survivor of your hatch,
you oftentimes, take up with another mother hen and they will sort of adopt you
did. Their little family sea can have siblings and if that doesn't knock your socks off
they also adopt the original mom to come along. You hear me to basically they.
dislike come and join our family. You only had one little baby that lived and they
some siblings? So why don't you and you're in your little hatchling come along and your little pulse and join us come have thanksgiving with this amount is given that that's they all say that word so,
you ve got. The key word is what they said today. So there's there's that's one kind
like there's. Also a lot of em like the Jake's, the young males in the that flock will continue to stay until I believe the fall.
and they ll leave and they'll go for mother foxes, other Jake's and sometimes older gamblers and dumb, especially with their civil,
to the hang out with them and then it'll the the
young hands, the mother hands will say together form their own fox, Elusive Fox, but Turkey's are so social that they ve been found too. If you take a bird, a turkey from its flock and put some rules, it'll, basically to stand in one spot and make it a scared sound until you take them
the turkey and put it back with his flock like they have been shown to be basically debilitated. When
move from their flock, and I was watching this video called Turkey and dog best friends
inseparable clearly calling. Does it the best things on the internet? So this turkey in his dog,
seriously we're housemates friends like really great friends, and that the woman who adopted the turkey, I think is a poult was like well, you know the turkey needs to be on a farm with other turkeys, so she took it to a farm to go, live its life as a turkey and a Turkey farm, and it did the same thing that I've just described it just stood in one spot in the barnyard and made this whole
all call for. I think three days she let it go on and finally, a fine come back home right when she got it back home with the Diver Turkey stop. There was back home and has been there ever since
Stephanie worth watching their video, though, if you like, I don't know, I still like to eat turkeys and once you watch that one
that's gonna, be it for you pal. You can
Turkey's or dogs anywhere now candied pigs either
no another where I guess we mention the alarm call Turkey's have.
Standing ability to communicate with each other? They have a lot of different vocalisations. Mr Mister. Henry ships talks about a lot of those different
kinds of gobbles that Turkey Hunter has to be acquainted with an me
yourself too,
track Turkey's
There are calls him yelps. Of course, there are three kinds of Yelps Alps:
the tree of the plane yelled.
plain lost call
and then there are a couple of basic calls. The clock, any alarm, but
and then a few other just complex cause. There's the cackled gobble and was called the kiki. But
tree up is what they're going to make this sort of their morning routine. The first thing they do in the morning is start too.
Helping in this basically like every,
good morning. How did you sleep good morning?
good morning, there's the plane, the Alps
is like come like just during the day. If you want
say: hey everybody. Lives was come huddled up over here because when they eat as a flock, they might spread out
a quarter acre, but we ve seen that
we will always have at least one constantly looking out no trade that job off
there's, always at least one bird looking out. For the rest, the flock ready to make a call might be applying plain
that might be an alarm, but but whatever that that is going to get the birds attention very quickly
right than you have that plane lost call sort,
the plane yelp, but it's usually louder, gets more.
And see to it-
and that they think is more for family is like
hey you and all your brothers and sisters get over here, too sweet yeah, there's also what else the clock? We has to say: hey, hey, Chuck, Cluck club, right,
cut Chuck and you look at it. This is a person what and I say Africa was going to say we go back to adjust its specific to a person, meaning a turkey person right, a town or a hen. There's that alarm
part which is basically like everybody, there's something weird going on there. They kiki
if a little cold or a younger turkey is a little worried and wants to be reassured her. What doesn't know
everybody is that's, probably a pretty cute. When I listen to some of these and they're, not they're, not is not item on appear like Kiki
since I like a key key to me. I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds like a wine. Almost it's weird, and then he had the cackle
which the sort of
like Hell, Owen Goodbye when you're coming into your rooster, you're, leaving in roost, you're, gonna, cackle and say
I'm here the gobble
They knows the gobble budgeting earth is actually not that frequent sound. It's one of the least frequents as they make because is typically may bite.
When their strutting their stuff. For you know, mating too, you know get it on
Literally spreading their stuff right
and then here is one of the facts of this chock full of fact, Podcast Turkey's per year when they per it's quite obvious, there purring with contentment, exactly
the cat yeah. It's pretty me. I saw another video of a turkey being stroked and petted, and it is curled up on the person's lap purring amazing
So the other thing when there, when they play these eggs and everything do in incubating, they will
turn them periodically, which is really great and their whether do and then as they're letting me
letting they exchange oxygen in Co2.
Well, as they think- and this makes a lot of sense, keeping
the total embryo, from attaching to one side of the egg. So if it starts to attach, though this turn it,
then little flop down and not attach itself. Nice
Then there's also reinvesting right. There is, which is basically like if the. If the Turkey is disturbed during the nursing press,
she may go often created new nest. I get the impression the other.
Or abandoned
or remember: we said that she is emotionally invested after a certain point. If she's disturbed, then she just abandons the nest and in doesn't do any more nesting. That season, which is very sad yet at super, said agree, so you won't take a break. Let's do it.

stuff
such as
figure the beginning. I was saying that Turkey's are way more intelligent than we think that's true right. They are smart boy,
one of the first modest we got in this country. That's a good governance Florida accident
he's passed on by the way one of the cool
and if you're interested in that movie, Garcia
and there is also a movie crush episode. Where what am I really really good friends MIKE,
comes on and talks about were in Florida and he actually struck up a friendship within reshapes veto.
Phone for the remainder of his life. Although its need that's a long telephone call wealth,
they taught often on quite a bit, it was rowed casual. I guess that's comment that so
This call them out of the blue yeah he in him
Who'd, you call him up. Why am I call you do embody? And this was twice
something years after reinforce it was from the
early nineties, remain even late eighties, and so he does
you get a kick out of it that that might thought he was famous cool, logical him. So,
every instrument. Oh, you did can answer my question. Turkey's are rather smart,
say: I'm a long standing myth that Turkey's are so stupid,
Phil actually drowned. When it's raining cause, they look up at the rain and the rain.
down there, go it and read them. I've never manner that now
before its true that there is a myth, a myth
software. We totally Roger that's, been observed. Something similar has been observed, mistakenly in domesticated birds, meaning like factory farm turkeys, and they ve actually shown that if that has ever happened, it's not the turkey. Looking up to see the rain, because the turkey wouldn't look up to see something above
It would look from the side of its head because it has monocular vision, yeah,
so it will be looking at the rain and if it is looking up and has ever drowned or something or seem to drown, it was because he was having a certain kind of seizure that apparently domesticated factory farms Turkey's have as a
enrolled condition they they have seizures and actually die from those kind of Caesar's fairly frequently. So they think some farm work.
I saw a turkey ever seizure was looking up.
it was raining and die
in that actually might have given birth to this incredibly wrong. Math,
It turns out that was my cousin,
they are smart and they have great memories which, as you know in the end,
What kinda memory is? Is it isn't?
same thing in a lot of times, a pretty good indicator of until
hence in just something more going on their wild
he's a great memory. They can remain
very precise locations. They can go back to the same location,
miles away at the same exact time of day, you'll get food
so they have a really good internal clock as well and hence aunt arms. They can also check supposedly differentiate human faces. So if they can tell humans who are different based on their face, it is pretty smart. If you ask me,
I totally they can be a nuisance if you like a farm,
There there dropping skin carry disease
at times, but they you know
their easily scared, like you said, like there's a list of
how to get rid of Turkey's that we came up with more didn't, invent
came up with her. Experts have been testing about all week in
seems like all of them are like. You know. Turkey's get scared super easily, so scare him off
There are real problem on your property, put up as emotion, activated, scarecrow or water sprinkler, something like that.
can a loud noise oil in your arms. I would get rid of Turkey's it is they that their scary
they want to get out of there. They're not aggressive, they can be
terminating if you're a kid cause, they're big, but even a kids, gonna scare, Turkey off, yet they
they are easy to scare off, but they can also be really
intimidating and aggressive, especially if it's a tom during mating season. So what to do the same thing to Turkey's that you,
Rico reasons called hazing, where you show them your dominant. You can do it by everything from a turn,
the whole is on them, throwing a terrorist
all in their general direction, opening umbrellas a big one, but you're basically saying like
not scared of you and in fact, I'm going to scare you off, because if you don't
that, apparently than they become increasingly more difficult to get rid of because they think there dumb
to you or say a family member, and if you come by-
That was somebody weather.
you are a neighbor, something feeding the turkeys or even letting them eat bird seed out of your bird feeder yeah. That's a that that there can be a problem. Actually, especially if you dont like Turkey,
running at you yet another really cool fact about hazing, as they say that
Everyone in your family has to do it. If you want to solve your turkey problem, migrate, gotta get if grandma
their there. She's gotta get out there and haze that Turkey have you got a four year old, yet said that for girl out there is that Turkey that Turkey wouldn't
and yet I, like every person in that house, has to exert their dominance. Yeah exerted with extreme prejudice all over that turkey growth. So I guess I say one thing I saw Chuck
Thanksgiving today. Eighty eight percent of Americans will eat Turkey to actually seems right, didn't seem high or low, but get this thing
two seven hundred million pounds of Turkey on average of forty six million Turkey's all killed in Eden on a single day. Today, goodness me and there s a lot of Turkey's alot of turkey
So if you want to know more about Turkey's go what's in Turkey and dog friendship, videos and
that might make Europe uses Ed, and since I said that, since it was her male
yeah before listener. May I just want to close the window on the Vernon Forward, a thing if you dont know
I'm talking about it was a documentary originally this fairly
resting Arrow Morris went down to this sleepy town,
Like I said in London, the Florida Panhandle to do
documentary on these people that live
who would cut off their limbs for insurance money, and that was their work. It was called stub town was
nickname whom he went down there. No one would
talk about it in so he
himself down there without a documentary subject all of a sudden, and so he, just after talking these people, said what
town is a documentary in and of itself and he d
the camera on the citizens and which probably like ten or twelve of them, sort of
review through the whole thing that that's cut together and that's all it is these
well that live in Vernon Florida, pretty cool. I need to see it one day. Yet it is, it is a cold class.
Can a true documentary legend, it's really great,
so listener mail. This comes from Erika, hey, just struck and Jerry. Listen to the podcast episode on fruit flies,

r C a one as bracket one,

while pity one is just a pity one.
I don't know how you would know you wouldn't you need to make smart friends, I think, is what it comes down to
That's right. She says as long as we're discussing pronunciations you mentioned in your episode on the US interstates it
The Californians add the word, the for anything
