Two Male Turkeys Showing Off
https://www.abigailfoxstore.com/

The expression “let's talk turkey” or “talking turkey” can have two meanings. One is to speak politely at the table and the other is to skip all pleasantries and dive straight into what's important. But did you know that there is also a third meaning? Wild turkeys have a language all their own…Here are ten interesting facts we learned about wild turkeys fromBarn Sanctuary in Chelsea Michigan - Turkeys…

  1. are incredibly social, affectionate, form lifelong bonds and talk to one another.
  2. have distinct voices—just like humans —and can recognize the voices of their friends and family. 
  3. have over 20 different vocalizations that they use to communicate with each other. 
  4. have regional dialects, so a turkey from Michigan sounds different than a turkey from Europe.
  5. make a variety of sounds -The assembly call; the cluck; the cluck and purr; the cutt; the kee kee run; the plain yelp; the excited yelp; the cackle; the gobble; and the purr. 
  6. Only males make the traditional “gobble” sound.
  7. Turkeys enjoy being petted so much that they begin purring, much like cats do.
  8. have excellent memories and can learn the precise details of over 1,000 acres by exploring the area with their beaks. 
  9. Male turkeys have a long piece of flesh above their beak called a snood. It extends and retracts given the mood. 
  10. The male “toms” love to show off for attention. They puff up their iridescent feathers, and fan out  their wings to display their brightly colored heads and snoods. 

And here are 10 festive items that you can rent to adorn your Thanksgiving table this year…
