I ended up with a wild turkey as a pet when I was growing up. We found him when he was just a few weeks old and was just walking around our yard up in Pennsylvania, he was out there for a good 7 or 8 hours before we realized he was on his own. Named him Charles and he would follow me around like a dog, even waited for me to get home from school and came running to the bus. Ahh memories lol. Had him all the way up until the day he died of old age.

We had a couple of pet turkeys. They were absolutely fearless and very intelligent. They would walk across the street and completely intimidate the neighbor's two Dobermans. The turkeys would puff up and strut, and the Dobies would cower. The neighbor would bring the turkeys home--- he'd pick one up and the other would follow. "Your birds are scaring my dogs again." I think Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national symbol.

@David Snow. What a cool comment! Back where I grew up, we lived near the river on a County gravel road. Almost every day, there would be two turkeys walking down the road past our house. Then they'd walk back, real stately like soldiers. It was very rural there, so I never knew where they came from.

some people don’t realize birds form strong bonds just like dogs or cats. i hope one day i get to experience something like this!

[@AtillatheFun]

Sorry but no. Cats are notorious for their lack of affection, and that's after thousands of years with humans. Dogs are as loyal as they are because they have been with humans for double the amount of time that cats have. Birds on the other hand don't really show the same levels of affection. They just know that humans give them food.

Thanks for letting us 'meet' Pepper. I love animals so much and I feel my life is more enriched knowing Pepper exists and watching what a special girl she is. She's your turkey 'daughter'. Family is so much more fun when you have animal 'kids'. When my parents were living my cats as an adult were my parents' grand son and grand daughter even though they were single cats at the time. My mother hated cats but she gave in bought me my first cat and loved her because she was mine and my second cat she loved him. I had gold fish and turtles as a kid and I knew they were treated like family when they passed and they had little funerals and dad would say the eulogy and he was very serious. It wasn't a joke at all. And my brother couldn't get a pet until we read animal care books and knew that the responsibility was totally on us. Mom had her second canary. Her first she had after she got married. Bingy passed before my brother and I were born so we never knew him. Mom never got another canary after Lovey died whom I was close to. It was so hard on mom when her canaries passed of old age she never got a third. So to see a turkey so much loved reminds me of home. Pets were family. They were kids to my folks and siblings to my brother and I. It's alien to me that pets aren't treated as family and spoiled no matter what they are.

What an amazing connection... Thanks for sharing this... For 20 yrs, I had 2 flocks of 20 wild turkeys who lived on my 5 acre citrus farm. At sunset they'd return & do a march around the parameter of the house & suddenly take flight. It's a sight to behold the little gray babies fly into the palm 🌴 trees. I finally understood that not many predators can climb those super tall palms & they can nest & hide within the thick frong stems & tucks that cd hold their weight. They'd just watch me work & hangout. I guess the old gal wasn't a threat & I guess I kept the bobcats foxes, alligators, raccoons, wild boars, 4' eagles, 3' vultures, panthers, bears, boa snakes, & hawks, away.

That pretty cool, this instance reminds me of how a growing flock of wild turkeys became my grandfathers daily best friends at his retirement home. Everyday 2 times a day he would go out to the storage sheds besides the rear parking lot and single car garage's, anyhow he would take his giant bag of bird feed and feed these bunch of cuties that would emerge from the trees and forest to greet him with gobbles and peck at the handfuls of tossed corn and seed. He did this everyday until his 93rd birthday when he had a stroke then went to live with my auntie for what would be his final year. Those birds and him brought so much.. to each other.
