3 Minutes Face to Face With A Turkey

- Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
There’s a retirement home here in Alabama that has several interesting animals outside for the residents. There are two turkeys that seem to have quite the attitude. It’s a rare opportunity to get a really good close-up look at a turkey. Of course the gobble is known to all but the other sounds they make are quite interesting and unexpected at times. I hope you enjoy looking at this turkey with me for a couple of minutes.
This is the second channel by the way. Uploaded straight from the phone. If you feel like this type of content has earned your subscription then it would be awesome if you do so. If not, no big deal.... but thanks for watching this anyways.
This is the kind of second channel RUclips was made more, minus the needless insults of the turkey. Turkeys are awesome!
But why are the feathers iridescent? 🤔
Thanks, I didn't notice. I'm already subscribed btw!
The iridescence is really cool. I think it comes from the oils in the feather. But I suppose the ear holes are just as intriguing. Lol. Happy Thanksgiving Destin!
Great quality for a phone video.
researched and the sound its making is apparently a "fighting purr"
Now that's a boxing match I would like to see.
*DESTIN VS TURKEY*
*NOV 28, 2020*
*_COMING SOON_*
He should have put his finger in front of the turkey. If he pecked,then obviously it's a fighting purr. Turkey may also have feel threatened or scared seeing him close.
@@dandanthedandan7558 We can put a Gopro on the turkey's head, that would be epic
@@Yonatan24 Do turkey's heads stabilize like a chicken? Imagine getting a stabilized first person POV of the fight live lol
It's a pretty good trick... Makes cute noises so you go to pat it and then it strikes!
"man yells at turkey for science"
The turkey was telling you that he wanted to be on your main channel.
Turkey was actually begging for help to not be eaten that's horrifying
@@royzevisionneur2045 He actually said that those turkeys won't be eaten for thanksgiving
@@muncherofpizza yes, that's what they say
@@royzevisionneur2045 I heard him say"EATME!"
Don't listen to the turkey, he is just trying to promote his instagram :D
Dude, I love the way it sounds. Also you
I love the way you sound. Also you.
BOBBY!
“Don’t peck me”
*attack mode activated*
Don't get too comfortable just because the enclosure is protecting you, that thing there is a dinosaur!
Just when your least expecting it it'll turkey charge you
Ours chased off the FedEx guy. They can judge fear better than any dog. If they figure they can take you, it's on.
Hey Destin. The head of the turkey, especially red portions (caruncle, snood, and wattle), are also a little chameleonic. They change quite rapidly from red to white depending on their mood, and the level of threat. They're also fascinating to watch mating, as it is quite a long process. We have a small farm with a number of different animals. During the summer up to about 250 birds. We love our turkeys!
I would like to have the noise the turkey makes as a notification sound on my phone
That is a BRILLIANT idea!! I am now switching to gobble sounds!
@@LuinTathren awesome!!!
Me too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Smarter Every Day 2 hope you have a wonderful holiday. I love the random short things that make it to the second channel like this. Thanks.
Why does the neck look like that. Is that overgrowth of cells or inflammation
And happy Thanksgiving
RiZZ me it’s actually called Thanksgiving
I caught you at my old school for a basket ball game the school was LCCS
Just spent 3 minutes of my life watching Destin gobble like a turkey.
3 minutes well spent 😂
"Mom? Dad is out in the yard gobbling again..."
0:50 "I don't want to fight you turkey, I just want to admire how beautiful you are, and by beautiful I mean ugly."
I need to use this in phrase some of my arguments.
You can literally clap your hands and he'll gobble. The chirps and called purring he's interested in you lol
I love how you got distracted from ending the video like 3 times.
Turkeys are very easy to hunt in Oregon. They were introduced some years ago and didn't do too well until the they lost their fear of humans and moved into cities, suburbs, and around rural homes. They roam streets and yards and can be seen in nearly every field and sometimes even in parking lots. They thrive on the grass and seed around homes, but lacking any fear of people... very easy to harvest. Like 9 iron easy.
Considering he is a male and he's being pretty fighty, it's a safe bet that the noise he's making is a "get off my lawn" noise.
Dude that close up of the wings looks like some crazy scifi material!
This Turkey making those Turkey sounds made my German shepherds go crazy! Lol been barking for like an hour hhahahaha they miss going duck hunting lol
I am a butcher and am so far removed from the actual life of the animal it's very odd to see this. Thanks though!
the feathers look kinda like some sort of small plating on some armour
Tomato Chan and they can really block bullets too!
@@stludachris be really really hard pressed to stop an actual bullet but they can stop smaller shot that have been fired from the end of its effective range.
Dimes On His Eyes you shoot em in the head for a reason. Cuz their feathers and body are strong.
@@stludachris yes and no. Yes shoot in the head so they won't fly away and to save meat and because they don't bleed enough to leave a blood trail.
I've shot dozens with a 22 and not once has the feathers ever stopped it. I have however found shot stopped in the feathers many times.
@@dimesonhiseyes9134 sneaky fella with that 22... turkeys are super skittish, hence the reason for longer range more powerful shot. Pellets will even bounce off human skin with the right conditions. i agree tho too, its not like defense contractors are shoving turkey feathers into their bullet proof vests
I wish we could have seen more of the turkey.
Mostly we say that weird bird.
At least we got to hear the turkey talk a little. ;)
Destin is the hero we need, not the hero we deserve.
By far the best video Desten has ever done.
Destin: you look like you are from Star Wars
Me: WTF are talkin' about. It's lookin' nothing like Baby Joda
lmao
Turkeys do seem to have an abundance of "attitude', don't they! :D Happy holidays!
Ben Franklin wanted the wild Turkey to be the national bird. Fortunately for us it was decided on the Eagle.
are you posting a 10 hour version?
so thats what a turkey sounds like
Birds are dinosaurs.
Turkeys are, I believe the only domestic bird that technically can still "smell" things; other than their wild counterparts of course. They still possess an olfactory system like birds of prey ie. vultures, eagles, hawks.
Happy Thanksgiving Destin to and your loved ones.
I have a little farm in Brazil and we have a bunch of animals, by far the most entertaining is the turkey. They are always mad and gobble at anything 💀
In my home town there's a private house where the owner has some turkeys... I believe about ten of them.
Well, back in February during the night there was quite a bad weather, with strong winds (up to 90kmph, or around 60mph) and part of the fence of that was had been damaged. Well, around at 6am I was patrolling (I'm a civil defense rescue volunteer) that area when, after a steep curve, I've found all of those turkeys in the middle of the road: after the fence collapsed, all started strolling around, more curious than scared I can tell...
... well, so (since them were a danger on the road) I tried and pushed them back around the fenced-area. Them weren't so much cooperative 🤔 but what left me absolutely speechless was that moment I decided I was sick&tired of gently pushing, and I clapped my hands screaming "COME ON! GO *THAT* WAY!"... not only because finally them entered their "house", but mostly because a couple of them *jumped from road to the grass by "flying" like 8-10 metres (around 20-30-ish ft)...* I didn't knew them can actually fly 😱😂😂
Now I can Watch since Turkey Day is Over!!!!!!!!
When you are finally one of the first people to watch Destin’s video, but it’s a literal turkey.
Destin talks turkey?
Oh Destin talks turkey.
Destin talks turkey reeeal well.
Will the main channel have a breakdown of turkey physics? :D
How about the amount of force a turkey can exert with its wings, or maybe how smart they are in figuring out how to get away from something....
@@RICDirector Or just like... Why they so ugly. So... So ugly. I had no idea!
Destin is so smart he can communicate with a turkey.. LOL!!
Wild turkeys in Northern Wisconsin are the easiest thing to hunt. Me and my family don't but they wander across roads slowly and through the yard without fear all the time
I find lit charcoal to be the best turkey lighting.
Destin, that turkey is trying to kick your a$$. They are super aggressive - 'pecking order' is a real thing with these guys :)
And they do look other-worldly...
I really want to hear the rest of that sentence now. Turkeys are hard to hunt because... Because why, Destin? Because if what? Din't leave me hanging like this! Incidentally, I spend an inordinate amount of time starting at the local chickens. They're fascinating to watch and looking at them makes me wonder how anybody could even doubt their relationship to dinosaurs.
Yeah, destin took his revenge on thanksgiving
Best 3 minutes of this day!
“I just want to admire how beautiful you are... and by beautiful I mean ugly” 😆
That noise means he wants to fight with you....and if that fence wasn't there you would be in trouble
Idk how people can eat such a cool animal
This video couldn't be better
"You look like something out of Star Wars" oh my god YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!!
Imagine if Ben Franklin had his way. The turkey could have been the national bird instead of the eagle.
I wonder how that would change Thanksgiving dinner. Personally, as much as I love the noble turkey, I'm glad the Bald Eagle is the symbol of the US.
@@LuinTathren but Ben was not talking about the domestic turkey he was talking about eastern wild turkey a far more awesome variety of its supermarket cousin.
@@dimesonhiseyes9134 That's fine too! I don't discriminate amongst turkeys. LOL
To be honest, the turkey seems to represent America more accurately than an eagle.
i thought i might watch 20 seconds, watched the whole thing and now want more. Can we have a part 2?
This is honestly extremely fascinating. Just to admire this beautiful bird that is gonna die, it's nice. But now that you've posted this, I want to see a series that dives deep into poultry birds lol. I always see "Here is the magnificent (bird of prey/tropical bird)" and not "Here's this poultry bird that's more than just the rotisserie chicken down the isle."
Try Glass Walls Project ...not quite 'in person' but fascinating to see. Temple Grandin hosts.
0:19
"Look at their ear-holes... Isn't that interesting?"
@ 1:15 Thank you for my new ringtone !
This sounds like it provided sound effects for Half-Life 2. Flying drones, I think?
I love it he is cute
That was cool. The only thing that would have made it better is if you got him into a full strut.
This turkeys RUclips channel is gonna get shut down he’s talkin mad smack.
loled
*purring smack
Its the turket turbo blow off valve.
I hadn't considered how not having an iridescent head might encourage predators to attack the body. So losing pretty head feathers and getting a turkey head kind of makes sense that way.
turkey
The 'in-between sound' eg, @2:41 definitely used as a creature sound in a movie, but I can't place it
wow. I feel smarter. I learn "brrrrr... brrrrrr"
That's a dinosaur.
The hilarious aside, It really inspired me that a fully grown up man can still interact with a turkey just like a child does(well,not exactly). It just give a push to go ahead and enjoy finding answers to your own curious questions without really caring about how other react : ) Gobble Gobble Gobble!
We haven't seen this side of Destin since his first chicken video
Domesticated turkeys will drown themselves in the rain if left outside. They can’t close their mouths when they are looking straight up while they are trying to figure out what is hitting them.
I looked like that I'd be in a fighting mood too.
I like that he actually gobbled back at you.
after observation :) i got 4 turkeys just for fun
turkey tend to make different noises, the gobble in this video warning one, the other kind is just a beep like a piezo beep :8 when they try to call out to the same species and then there's the normal one like how its initially in the video.
The caruncles(the bumps on the head and neck) turn red for predators or alert, and they also change their colour to blueish green when normal and trying to be friendly.
Btw the female turkeys are pretty dumb.
The beard or chest hair is like some kind of metal.
also they tend to roam around as pairs of 2 .
correct me if i'm wrong .
Happy Thanksgiving
It will be time (after sunrise) to go play this audio track for my pair and observe their reaction (for science).
You are not fully correct in many points.
The beard is actually just a special type of feather.
Turkeys can move in groups in the dozens. I have personally seen, in the wild turkey move on their own to a group of more than 60.
Turkey make many different vocalizations that one was not really a warning. The warning is more of a pew pew sound. This turkey was making a low level alert warning almost identical to what chickens make. It's a sound of excitement and familiarity, not saying hey there is danger but saying hey something exciting is happening.
@@dimesonhiseyes9134 thanks man got it
Your video only appeared in my notifications 2 days later
Goddam jive turkey!
"You look you're from Star Wars". I was just thinking it looks like they are wearing their brains on the outside of their heads. I think I'd go more with Star Trek.
The noises are easy to interpret. Tiberius T Turkey wants to fight you, to prove he is the more worthy male. You're not scaring *him*. The golden rule for interpreting wild animal behaviour - it's all just about fight, food, flee, or f... well, you know. It doesn't look like #2 #3 or #4 to me. Except... #4 is related to #1 in this case. You saw the lady turkey watching right? no way you are getting to her.
BTW I'm a big fan of the NDQ podcast. Hangin out for the next episode. Love you guys.
I'm actually curious if the turkeys recognize the net as a wall or a window rather than a net and you putting your hand through the net was some universe-shattering thing the turkey is witnessing.
Gobble Gobble
Turkey: “GUYSS GUYSS GUYSS, It’s Destin! He’s making a video about us!”
Other turkeys: “Calm, i’m grazin’.”
Is sounds like the houndeyes from Half Life
YES! Especially the little sound in-between, it's almost identical. I wonder if the half life devs found their inspiration from them
Looks like something out of a horror movie.
domestic turkeys will become your pet. some we had from the get-go were following us kids around like a puppy. we had one with a messed up wing, fight with a goose (those are the real monsters of the barn yard), mom had to have it in the house for a few days. well we kids did what kids do and let it run around. mom came into a turkey and 2 kids just watching tv. that silly bird thought it was a pet. he would try and follow us in the house. went with us on rides and down to 5he pond to play on the ice...odd bird. we didn't eat him but he was killed by a pack of domestic dogs that ppl had brought out to the country and dumped...bottom fedoras....
Check out that snood...
I feel like a turkey after watching this 3 minute segment
A closer examination of what iridescence is and what causes it might make an interesting video....
The Turkey really should have been the national bird of the USA.
They look like they're wearing their brain on the outside of their head.
If it was me making thanksgiving dinner I’d just go out and buy a bunch of cheese burgers and sides
The irony of nature that mate choice has selected for the most elaborate ‘come and eat me’ biological designs..
Many birds have this come and eat me look ...
Films a turkey looks at the Date Nov28th Xmas soon next Month xd 🤔
The red skin above the Beak blows up when Mating we never see it happens so fast But filmed in Slowmo utube seen a clip once 💯
A yummy dinosaur.What strikes me is that is what dinosaurs really looked and sounded like. Just Waaaayyyy bigger.
Holy skin tags
I like Wild Turkey - does that count?
0:58 I love that this seemed entirely involuntary for the turkey
This is so cool yet so random and I love it! Thanks for sharing this Destin!
That gobble at 1:00 looks almost compulsive XD
I just made gobbling sounds at my phone while alone in the bathroom. What a time to be alive.
Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing.
No, I had never looked at one so closely before. It looks like a dinosaur!
Happy Thanksgiving🦃
Have you tried filming, in slow motion, a mosquito taking of from a wall? Do they have a consistent getaway path or do they actually maintain a threat board to guide their takeoff vector?
Very cool
I was ready for the turkey to start speaking in Klingon
I don't really know if I want to eat this poor guy's distant cousin tomorrow anymore
Sure you do, don't let its death be for nothing.
If it makes you feel better pretty much all animals would be totally fine with eating you. :P
