She had only ever eaten turkeys for Christmas dinner.
After hatching two eggs in her dining area, Debi Monk vows to stop this from happening in the future.
The podiatrist of 57 believes Flower is the UK’s smartest turkey, and that they are because Flower reads to them bedtime stories.
She says the birds can distinguish different colours, recognize commands and make music.
A podiatrist of 57 years believes that Flower and Gobbledygook make the UK’s smartest turkeys
According to her, the birds are able to distinguish colours and respond to commands just like dogs. They can also create music.
She explained that Gobbledygook is able to use the keyboard on their own, as well as kick and lie down.
They can also recognise colours – if I say ‘peck red’ they peck red.’ Bromsgrove resident Mrs Monk was happy to see Flower and Gobbledygook hatch in July.
Later, she entered her birds in an agility contest for all animals. They were given second and third place rosettes.
MOTHER-OF-Three Mrs Monk said: “I will never again be eating turkey at Christmas.”
She explained that they are smart, sensitive, and like to get their arches tickled. If you give the animal enough time, you can make any animal learn.
