1. OMG! They're getting smarter!

We're doomed!

The next thing you know they'll learn to fly... I'll bet Thanksgiving 2121 is going to look much different.

4. Turkeys can't fly??

WKRP in Cinn. Did not get that message. Can someone make sure Biden gets a Pardon for that Turkey?

[cstanleytech]

11. Only on air force one and only if your first name is Donald and your last name is Trump.

[Traildogbob]

13. Please

Do not insult Turkeys. They were almost our National bird. I am certain there are evil orange fat birds the best represent the ass. I would prefer he be the dodo bird and extinct. Maybe a Vulture best fits him. A detritus feeder that bullies his way to front of the line and eats it all.

17. Vulture best fits him.

[cstanleytech]

27. Ahh but vultures do serve an honest purpose unlike Trump.

[TomSlick]

23. You asked for it. Of course, I was looking for an excuse.

[Traildogbob]

26. Thank you thank you😂😂👏👏

A great moment in TV comedy. Les Nussmam. Good thing he did not mistake Ostrich’s for Turkeys. People would have been crushed. Happy Turkey day to you and your family.

8. Oh but they can

It's limited, but yes, Turkeys can indeed fly. I watched the do it all the time to get on my roof or perch in my trees.

10. I think . . .

. . . animals, in general, are getting smarter. Or humans are just noticing how smart they already are.

[Hugin]

16. Meanwhile, humans are either caught up in Jurassic Park or a David Lynch movie.

The only plus side is that either way, we'll get to meet Laura Dern.

2. Road guards out!

And fuck them all but nine.
Six for pall bearers
Two for road guards
and one to count cadence.

3. A bird showed more class in one minute...

…than this turkey blowhard has in an entire life.

28. This was the most ill fitting tux. Waistcoat too long, tailcoat too short, pants too wide.

Pants too long, pants wrinkled.

And a typically nasty scowl on his face for a picture with the Queen.

What an idiot.

The Queen is trying to get away from him as fast as she can.

[calimary]

30. He kinda looks like a stuffed turkey there.

The Queen, not surprisingly, is looking in a different direction.

He looks like a spoiled little brat who’s pouting because Mom made him dress up.

[littlemissmartypants]

32. Hahaha!

Rotten stuffed. . .Her Royal Highness is just trying to avoid the rancid odor you know who brought into the room.

Thanks for the chuckle. ❤

[Wild blueberry]

5. Awesome!

Love to see the solidarity.
Thank you.

7. that is so cool

It might surprise you to find that we have a lot of turkeys around here in my northern NJ suburban town.

One day a friend was coming over and arrived at the door with a smirk on his face, brandishing a photo on his iphone. I asked what is that and he responded that it was a couple turkeys getting it on in the middle of the street. The traffic all stopped while they did their thing. He got a photograph! I swear I'd never have believed it had I not seen the photo.

[PatSeg]

9. Wow, that is incredible

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Wow

And he spread his tail feathers like a STOP sign!

[George II]

14. Got these back in the spring. Safely crossed that busy street (and then outran me on the sidewalk!)

[Dukkha]

15. They heard WKRP was doing a promotion giveaway

And got out of town pronto!

[irisblue]

19. A school crossing guard got a step up in her/his reincarnation cycle.

24. Wild turkeys fly

Wild natural turkeys fly.

[LudwigPastorius]

25. A true gentleman...

looking out for his significant others.

[littlemissmartypants]

33. Indeed. ❤

[Irish_Dem]

29. Why did the turkeys cross the road?

This was one of the twitter responses, really funny.

31. Wild Turkeys are smart. And vengeful.

Back during his previous marriage, Laz and his ex ran the only pizza place in their small, rural county seat town. So they did a lot of deliveries out in the country. One night, she was the back-up driver and got stopped on one of those county roads out in the middle of nowhere by a flock of about half a dozen wild turkeys. She got out to shoo them out of her way and left the door open.
When she got back in, she hadn't noticed that the Tom had gotten in and was waiting for her, pissed, in the back seat. She ended up leaving him in the car and called the cops to get him out of their car. What was left of the pizza,of course,was pretty much scattered all over the ripped up car by the time the cops got there and opened a back door. The ex and the cops stayed in the cruiser until the tom went back into the brush, some time later.

Do not challenge a wild turkey. They will mess you up.
