I found a nice article about some reasons to love and honor the turkey. I was particularly interested in how Ben Franklin described the turkey and thought it would be a better choice than the eagle for National Bird...I would like to hear any interesting stories you know or can find about the turkey to honor it 🦃. Maybe it's just a funny turkey or bird encounter😅. We know Kitten-whiskers enjoys birds😁👍. Have a good day everyone😊🙏🦃.

You can hear how Turkey can purr sooo adorable. They can communicate with each other and with human who shows love. 😊

Yes it's a cute sound😁👍. Look how comfortable they are around him too. Just have to learn to speak their language a little bit 🤷‍♂️. But many hunters will use their own calls against them, but still they trust this man😊.Thanks for sharing and have a good day🙏🤗

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Zazen! 🤗

People always mistake them are stupid birds but actually they are highly intelligent, courageous and affectionate. 💚

Ben Franklin was a brilliant scientist and he recognized the grace and beauty of Turkey.

We can all celebrate and be thankful for this day without the sacrifice of these lovely creatures. 🙅‍♀️🦃💚

Happy Thanksgiving. What a lovely post ZazenRiver345. Maybe if more people where aware of this great facts, they would see them as living creatures and not food. I was ware that they could purr - they are so lovely aren't they and smart 😁

[ZazenRiver345 in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Yes I agree. We should all at least take some time to learn about these creatures before deciding to eat them. A big problem is many are introduced to chicken, turkey or other animals as food at such a young age. That's the first experience they have with them and dont think twice about it as they grow. Thanks for commenting and have a good night😊🙏.

There was someone here who unfortunately moved away a couple of years ago, but he loved animals and had sheep, alpacas and a turkey. The turkey was a huge male turkey 🦃 He was always magnificent to see 🦃

Sounds like he had lots of friendly animals... I dont remember seeing many big turkeys. Maybe I've seen mostly females out in the woods🤔. Thanks for sharing H😊🙏
