Re: Here's something strange
I’ve seen a video of one swimming by itself. But I’ve never actually seen one swim. It’s that wild or domestic? I could see a domestic doing it if it’s around sucks all the time. Cool picture

He doesn’t know he’s a turkey. He thinks he’s a duck...
I think his swimming is called the turkey paddle.

Re: Here's something strange
I saw a wild one one time in a field with several Canadian geese. They walked walked around feeding together for a long time.
And I’ve seen them wading in knee deep water, but never swimming. Did he say if that’s a common occurrence with that Gobbler?

The S,D and F are way to close together on a keyboard. I’m just glad I missed Wide left and not wide right.

Re: Here's something strange
While sitting in a duck blind one January I watched a flock of turkeys wade into a patch of flooded milo, stand ass-deep in cold water, and feed for nearly an hour. But if you’d bet me $50 that a turkey could actually swim, I would have upped it to $100. Then I would have lost and paid you in rolled nickels.
He must have imprinted on the ducks shortly after hatching and now he’s confused, following them wherever.

Re: Here's something strange
This turkey is highlighted in Jim Spencer's new Bad Birds book, chapter 3
he has learned to go swimming every time he hears a turkey call, as it's illegal to pursue wildlife taking refuge in water.
