Woman falls in love with neighbor's dinner turkey

[@skehleben7699]

Her reason for not anthropomorphising Lemons feelings is incredibly sweet, "her turkey feelings are just as important". Melts my heart!💗

[@dontcallmecute826]

Don't eat animals. They are all sweet.

[@jeanneparisot237]

@@dontcallmecute826 Yeah, people do not know how all animals are intelligent and have feelings. Social animals can even have such complex interraction that we can not understand or even did not know, because it is far more high than our perception. That is why I am particularly agreed in the fact that people should not anthropomorphism animals feelings, because it can lead frustration on both side. People do not know that all domesticate animals are amazing pet, when you put them in an environnement where they can be themselves. Even fish. Some fish love to be pet and having interactions. Chicken put their head into your neck when they want to cuddle. Cows have best friends. Goats love to be pet and learning tricks for their favorite treat. Guinea pigs love to cuddle. Rabbits kick the ground with one rear legs when their are mad, lizards know their name... all animals have feeling. All animals have intelligence. I mean... trees "talks" to each others and support each others when one was dying or sick. If a tree can do that, imagine what animals can do... ^^

My Tom passed just a few weeks ago. I still can’t even say the words out loud. People may think poultry don’t have feelings like we do, but my Tom loved life more than I do.

The chirping is actually a very angry sound. Turkeys make this noise when they want to assert themselves in a very serious way, usually precludes a fight

[@holliesheet3182]

Raising my first white meat turkey, as a pet, not food. Added her to my chickens, ducks and goose. She loves the yard and hanging with us all. She knocks on my door sometimes for treat or even wanting to come in. We talk back and forth everyday. I was surprised that she was so interactive.

[@holysirsalad]

That's great! Turkeys really are lots of fun, they're somewhere on the scale of a cat or dumb dog, but with a weird bird twist! If you haven't already, look up some information on rationing feed. Unfortunately the broad-breasted breeds are somewhat doomed, but you can extend their life by restricting how much they eat. Best of luck to you and your snoodly pal

[@lilyotv9767]

Wow Lemon is lovely and her rescuer is amazing!

[@Nonayabizness360]

My mother is in her late 70’s and has daily visits from at least forty wild turkeys multiple times a day. She goes outside to refill her bird feeders and she whistles and they know her whistle and come running! It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Turkeys are actually pretty smart creatures and I enjoy watching my mother smile because she says they give her a reason to get out of bed every day since my father died. Animals are better company than most humans ❤

[@pearlleeooo9955]

@@holysirsalad it can be used as both aggression and unsettled, my Turkey does that when feeling spooked or unsettled, also have a mostly blind chicken and she makes the noises a broody hen (a hen hatching eggs) makes, these are usually aggressive, but she just makes them because she is scared of being blind. Lemon probably just makes those to navigate her world, animals not born blind don’t understand why they can’t see anymore.

I’m glad that she demonize them, she just spoke about her own feelings and how it was hard for her. For the ones raising food birds, they may even feel it’s more ethical than buying from the store when you don’t know what kind of conditions they were raised in. It’s not comfortable to be part of an omnivore species when you feel so strongly for the animals we use for food. I really appreciate that she didn’t try to paint them as “bad” people despite that.

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

I've heard before that raising turkeys for food is hard because they have such big personalities andvare hard to not get attached to unless you really keep your distance.

[@holysirsalad]

They follow you around like any cat or dog and want to hang out all the time.* They'll come and hassle you (in their own way) when it's bed time. If they miss you they'll come up to the house and peer in the windows. We've had various turkeys tell us off for being annoying, point out threats, and ask for scritches. One day a few years back one of the boys followed my wife, myself, and the barn cat on a slow walk through the woods. Just happy to come along, and even put up with the cat rubbing against him! Depending on the mood. If you're being boring they'll wander on

[@pearlleeooo9955]

@@holysirsalad I raised 3 turkeys for a family friend who had been given 3 fertile Turkey eggs but was going on a trip for a month, I raised them up to 2 months. I got my pick of one to keep, they’re only requirement being that I didn’t stick them with 2 males, luckily it was 1 Tom and 2 hens, I picked the little runt, well actually she picked me, she cried if I wasn’t with her for even a few minutes. They took Elvis & Priscilla, named after Elvis Presley and his wife, and I kept Brown Sugar. Sadly Priscilla was eaten by a great horned owl a week after they took them back due to insufficient enclosure safety. She is 6 months now and we just call her Turkey most of the time. She lives with our chickens and likes flying onto the neighbors shed… she also likes flying onto our roof, but we just have to call her and she flies right back. They are Standard Bronze crossed with Sweetgrass, Priscilla and Elvis just looked like bronzes, sugar on the other hand is a beautiful dusty mousy brown and she has the white wing stripes of a bronze which looks quite lovely on her color, they all had such unique personalities and I can’t eat Turkey now without thinking about Elvis’s sweet little goofy face… I don’t eat Turkey anymore, still eat chicken tho-

I raise turkeys (along with other birds) and they, by far, are my favorites. They're smart, funny, a bit ornery- okay a lot ornery and they have such deep feelings. They absolutely can have their feelings hurt, be jealous and hold a grudge. They all know their names and will come when they are called. Your girl has some male characteristics, it might be from growing up as the only turkey.
