My Life as a Turkey

What a fascinating film about a man who cares for a batch of turkey eggs, lets the new borns think he is their mother and spends the next year or so with them.

I’ve seen that episode of Nature before. You are right, it is an interesting film. I think the guy has some issues, but it was still an interesting film.

Does his life with turkeys have anything to do with Thanksgiving? I’m thinking about some turkey.

I was wondering if he still ate them. He took it pretty hard when some died and others left him.

Issues? Definitely a different lifestyle, no other human contact during that time ( except for the camera person I guess).

Ha! For sure.

He has a picture of a plate on his facebook that looks like turkey & eggs.

I’m sorry. I tried to watch it, but it said that, because I’m out of its area, I couldn’t view it. It had to do with rights restrictions out of the country.
