Group of turkeys captured on video eerily circling dead cat

I know. They get all fluffy and hissy and spread their wings and stuff.

You know what a quick twist of that long neck will do, right?

They are circling counterclockwise!

I think the turkeys know quantum mechanics and Schrodinger's Cat. If they take their eyes of it, the cat will come back to life. Kind of like those Stone Angels on Dr. Who. [end joke]

The Counterclockwise Circle Dance is very sacred to Native Americans. And since they cannot use real eagle feathers... they use turkey feathers.

How strange is that?

Wow, so in the Northern Hemisphere does the internet screen become inverted or something, when i went to school, and every time i'm in the kitchen, i look up at the analogue clock......

I would bet my pitiful Star count that these dag nabbit Wild Turkeys are circling clockwise....

Wild Turkey? Dat fightin juice init' ?

They're quick too.

I've had a horse bite me too for no reason once. Bit me on the back of my arm. Sneaked up behind me just like that turkey and just bit me. Hurt pretty bad too. Didn't break the skin but bit me hard with those dull teeth.

I've been attacked by a goose too. They're mean and vicious sometimes.

It scared the hell out of me too. They're fierce little guys.

I been chased, thought it was funny when they started coming after me but not funny when I realized they weren't gonna stop.

They make good guard animals.

That's a horse of a different color.

They don't have to pretend to be big, they are big.

Yeah. It would break the goose's neck.
But if they get all fluffy and hissy and spread their wings and then fly right upside your head you go home with a black eye and a busted lip.

Sorry but lol!! I bet it hurt! Back of the arm to boot. Tender area.

Brings back memories.

My aunt had a piece of carrot in her shirt pocket and her horse grabbed more than the carrot.

Playful animals.

Sounds to me like you got smacked up by your wife or girlfriend and you're using a goose as an excuse to your friends!

I like ducks.

A duck ain't ever sent anybody home looking like they fought 3 hobos for a sandwich.

OMG!! That would suck!! Titties are more tender than arms so I can only imagine what that was like. LOL

You freaks...

Try living in Australia. There was a trick to stave off a vicious winged beast, drawing eyes on a helmet so it thinks you are looking at it.

Doesn't work... so this shows either just a really annoying chick screaming as she peddles her legs off, or the ferociousness of one of our most famed tyrannical creatures... the Magpie.

Geese and Turkeys... you need to lift your skirts up, you lot !!!

Try living in Australia.

No thanks. Nice place to visit, but it wants to kill me.

And it has kangaroos.

a reply to: savemebarry

poor thing - maggies don't usually attack unless their baby chicks are closeby

a reply to: Phage

Thats we said about your highways - trying to get off I 515 back to our hotel in Vegas.

I'd rather drive in Europe... hahaha

a reply to: TheConstruKctionofLight

At least Europe doesn't have kangaroos.
Not running loose, anyway.

If I have to choose between a kangaroo hopping around my backyard or a flock of turkeys circling a dead cat, I pick the Kangaroo.

a reply to: c2oden

They, like everything in Oz, are poisonous.
