Iโve had many experiences. Some inspirational, some bitter, some funny.
And no matter what I share with my family (including you), there are lessons to learn. So sit back and enjoy ๐
Turkey Turkey Turkey ๐ฆ
When I was much younger, sometimes, I mistook Turkey for Peacock๐ their body structure look alike, so I had tough times differentiating them, until I got wiser.
Sometimes, you just have to learn things the hard way. Experience is the best teacher.
So on this fateful day, I was taking a walk. Then I came by a house which had a farm. And because of my love for animals in general, I stopped to have an exciting look at the animals. (Chickens, Turkeys, etc)
Then I coughed.
And for some reasons, the Turkeys shouted back.
I faked another cough, and the Turkeys shouted back.
And because I didnโt have any urgent thing to attend to, I waited and started making funny sounds, and the Turkeys will always sound back ๐
But you see, these Turkeys are wise. As I was making the sounds, they were sounding back and kept coming closer to me.
And because it is generally believed that domestic fowls canโt possibly attack an human, I didnโt really pay attention to it.
But one particular big female Turkey kept coming closer. Although she was sounding back, she kept coming closer.
Then, she immediately dashed towards me.
I ran!!! Honestly, if you were in my shoes, you would have run! It was like the farmer mistakenly put energy drink in the water bowl for the Turkeys.
It kept chasing me for like 3 minutes. I was surprised! The chase was pretty long for a Turkey. ๐
I donโt know why animals donโt fear me. ๐
In my previous story, Imagine the audacity of the snake to kill my chicken when I was around. Like can you imagine that disrespect?๐๐
Somethings that should only happen in animation movies, happen to me in reality!๐ฉ๐ but still, there are lessons to learn from everything that happens in oneโs life.
Lessons learnt๐ฆ
Turkeys are proud birds. And from my experiences, they love to have their peace.
Animals are living things. So they have feelings, just like you and I. So they also have emotions. Most times, itโs their bad side that gets noticeable often ๐
And lastly, when a Turkey is around, donโt make funny sounds. It can get really scary and nasty. ๐๐
I posted this because you might need a good smile wherever you are presently.
Well, everyone loves to read experiences of people and animals.
Please stay safe and enjoy your day as much as possible
Your smile is my inspiration โค๏ธ
Haha! I would run too if a turkey was chasing me! I would run if anything were chasing me, actually! ๐

You never know the sound you made might have been offensive to the Turkey. Most animals are very territorial and perhaps you over stayed and went over the line for her.
I found Emus to be very quick to chase. My family friend worked at a major sanctuary in Australia before he knew it the emu was behind him and kicked him in the behind making my friend fly through the air 6 feet. LOL painful and not funny.

๐๐you are right.
Maybe I was actually saying a language that was like โHeyyy mother turkey! You are a big for nothing turkeyโ ๐๐
And the Turkey took offense in that. Yeah. Most animals are territorial. No one should prey on their personal space.
Emus! ๐๐they would certainly make a good chaser.
Wow! Really?!! I bet itโs so going to be painful ๐

Haha, that reminds me. I also had a funny experience with a Turkey about a year ago. I was returning from Church when this bird blocked my path… imagine the audacity! Okay so each time I tried moving it blocked me until we started going round and round a car. I threw stone at it, tried everything but birdy definitely wanted a piece of me! Anyway, one of my Church members distracted it and that’s how I got out. Praise the Lord!!!!!

Thats okay Vincent, it does happen more often than not. I see someone mentioned Emus as well. As I come from the land of the emu, I can honestly say they are amazing, but have no sense of direction. When they run out onto the road and start to run beside you, just stop. They have a bad habit of ducking into your car!
