I have a turkey ,saved from being a Christmas dinner when she was around 9 months old, she is now nearly 9 years old ,a bit stiff but she still enjoys life with her chicken friends . 19/04/23 She's still alive and eating well ,i checked her birth date and it was 2011 ,so she's 12.
That’s amazing! What’s her name?
Birds are great, they are why I went Vegan long ago no 🐟🐠 too
Seeing 🙈 FACTORY Farm videos made me give up all animal products
Sweet story!
Very similar to our rescue chicken that lived over 11yrs. She was supposed to be for a soup, but when my father brought her home to kill, I grabbed her and locked myself in the bathroom until my fuming mom promised to spare her life. The whole family loved Henny Penny 🐔
When I was younger, my grandparents bought a live turkey for Thanksgiving, but when it came time to harvest, my grandmother cried, and she couldn't do it. She instead named it Herbert, and Herbert lived on her farm for years. Lol Man, I miss that woman.
Wow that's pretty wholesome is Herbert still alive?
I love your story, made me smile, thank you. Herbert is a great name for a Turkey.
@@bruh-104 Unfortunately not, but he did live on her farm for about 10-11 years.
@@tekanatoken Oh I'm so sorry to hear that but at least she lived a long life with a happy woman. :)
I love that ❤
I never knew their head changed colours like that! Thanks for sharing and for giving him so much extra time on earth ❤
What’s that thingy on its head that protrudes when it’s excited or angry?
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 it’s called a Snood
All turkeys have them but the males are longer
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292it's called a face Weiner.
Indeed, its interesting.
Same story for my brother. Bought two turkey chicks for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The turkeys used to walk up the hill to his house when he and my sister-in-law would be sitting on the porch. The birds would chuckle and cluck and then hop up on their laps so nestle down for a nap. Needless to say, they both died of old age.
I learned so much about turkeys through this video. Didn’t know they could retract the hanging skin on their face, neither did I know they could change color.
Same..
Right! I’m a huge animal person & I had no idea. I don’t really eat meat but when I do it’s Turkey or chicken haven’t had either in awhile and after this video I will not be partaking again- ever. I love this ladies energy and attitude what an amazing human and Turkey being😉
Same
Lmaoo same
by this video they might be good in bed too becuase its pulling a woman
I think a woman on a moped with a turkey is the coolest thing ever.
❤️😁👍🏼
Moped magazine should cover her ❤️
Imagine a pixar studio ghibli collab on that 🔥
No one can top that. 😁
@@kkibela omg yes!!!!
Well I hope she reads this- my family has turkey hunters in it. They all vowed that they will never turkey hunt again. We all thought Turkeys were unintelligent. The Canadian turkeys thank you- I’m sharing this with everyone. It has touched my family’s hearts.
this isn't her channel im confused, are the people who made this channel a she and that's why u said that? Maybe comment on her instagram
Intelligence should never be what determines your treatment of a being to begin with. ethical consideration is based on the capacity to feel pain (sentience) not intelligence, Which Happens to be why intelligent people aren't automatically ethically superior to less intelligent people
Turkeys and other vertebrates, as well as octopi and such are all sentient
@@lil_weasel219 you’re so so so right. Empathy shouldn’t be conditional. I couldn’t agree more
honestly at least hunting is humane. It's farming that's truly cruel, where the animals are born and raised in horrible conditions and are killed slowly. Hunting involves quickly killing an animal that lived its life free and happy, so it's much more humane, in my eyes.
@@botanicalitus4194 you’re right. Factory farming is horrific. If animals could speak we would all sob.
Rose thank you so much for sharing your story. When I was a young girl, my father used to raise turkeys, and we had a hen that wouldn’t sit on her eggs so being in the sixth grade and studying science, I decided to bring the eggs inside and hatch them. There was only one that hatched, and it was a gobbler. I raised the gobbler till he was full grown. He was the most loving, precious pet that I have ever had. He would come and sit in my lap, nestling his beak under my arm. He would follow me around in the yard, he was very smart. Unfortunately my father decided to stop raising turkeys gave sold them. I was devastated. I missed and loved him so much. The man who bought the turkeys from my Dad called him back several weeks later and told him he had one that he thought was sick. He said it was a gobbler and that he just laid around in the corner or the pen and wouldn’t eat or drink. When we went to his farm, we had discovered that it was my Mr. gobbler. He was grieving himself to death for me. I begged daddy to please let me bring him back home, he did, but unfortunately he had let him go to long before we knew what was happening and I lots my little buddy. Every since then I have had a strong connect with birds. They are truly beautiful creatures from God, many do not ever get to see that side of them. It is amazing, and I will never forget him. 😊❤
I think that’s the saddest story I’ve ever read. I’m so sorry.
That’s so sad, I couldn’t imagine loosing my precious little Turkey hen 😔
It is incredible to see how all animals (wild and domesticated) thrive when they are truly loved. And how much more they give us.
Totally agree ♥ And not to forget how much humans thrive when loved unconditionally by animals!

only an ignorant or a psychopath would kill a sentient being like a turkey for nothing, yes because eating meat is not necessary, indeed it is often harmful

His head changing color according to his mood is fascinating. I had no idea turkeys could shorten and lengthen their swag--I think that's what you called it. All animals are capable of affection if only given a chance. I hope when people see you with him they reconsider when it comes to eating them. We humans are so entitled we think everything belongs to us to do with what we want.
If only more people had hearts as big as hers, there would be world peace at last. I learned so much about turkeys from this video. I had no idea about the changing of colours, or about their snood.
Me too!! 😄

Wow 19 years old,thats amazing, well i hope my girl can make a few more years yet. She
@@feltedfido Stuffins was extremely spoiled and she had her own vet. She couldn’t walk for years but she enjoyed watching farm movies and taking rides in the car.
@@wandarask8444 pets are so loyal and have unconditional love. I had a cat mr. Mittens that let me cry on his fur as I had an a horrible husband. I couldn’t of gone through it without mittens. Animals are Gods gift to us.
19!? Wow. So very cool.
I learned a lot about turkeys--their snoods are variable and they change colors. Thx. Also, that any species of animal responds with love to love and caring.
People hardly think how other animals are smart and loving, and just avoid their suffering. Bravo to this woman!
Its such a shame that food animals are bred to gain large amount of weight quickly. Their own weight can smother them. He is living such a good life....that's awesome
It's such a shame that people support carnism. Humans are inherently frugivores, which is provable, anatomically and physiologically. Causing harm to fellow sentient beings is immoral. (Universal Law/Karma). We reap what we sow. Current day is a reflection of how off course we've allowed ourselves to be led, spiritually by those few that benefit immeasurably by our acquiescence to the moral relativism social programming who see themselves top of the food chain and refer to humans as "cattle". Now, that's; a shame. To those that are missing it, we are at a spiritual crossroads. Do No Harm. Separateness is an illusion.
@@sidneymcfadden3857 that's not true
@@sidneymcfadden3857 I like both dead turkey and alive turkey
@@sidneymcfadden3857 the reason our brains even developed to be bigger is cos we started to cook meat, a lot of people cant actually become vegan or vegetarian, even though i agree the way we treat animals in the food industry is poor and disgraceful, if we are going to eat meat we need to stop ignoring the fact it was an animal and respect the fact its now dead to feed you,
animals eating other animals is nature,
i live next to a very happy flock of sheep that I've eaten before, it was mutton probably one i saw, i much prefer that over a random package of meat that probably was an animal that suffered greatly,
but seriously shameing people for eating meat it absolutely ignoring the fact that there's many people out there that do not have the option, from medical conditions too important culture, to cost.
@@coppar4728 why not dead human, Coppar? There are too many of us, so many that a significant percentage are living in squalor. Human meat would taste fine with the right spices and marinades and cooking methods. There’s really no reason not to eat people, but it’s just like dogs - some cultures are fine with abusing dogs and eating them, others aren’t.
My neighbor had a turkey who was so curious and sweet. When my son would come to do work around my place the turkey would follow him around until he knelt down and then the turkey would stick his head under my son's arm. He wanted to cuddle!
The concept of us killing each other to eat each other is a disturbing one. Loved this video!
What a kind hearted woman.
If you are a person who befriends animals, and see's them for the individual creatures filled with personality that they are, you are one of humanity's treasures.

Used to own three elderly turkeys when I was a kid, they were surprisingly intelligent, very affectionate and very playful. I miss them a ton, they made my childhood great.
I had a duck like that. She was a great part of my childhood.
나는 삼계탕집에서 어린 병아리를 사왔다.그녀는 총명하고 나에게 충성과 애정표현을 잘했으며 장난끼가 자주발동했었다😂
what happened to them?? or do we want to no
@@mikemiller659 They eventually passed away of natural causes, they were all elderly. This was a very long time ago, over ten years ago.
Turkeys are so smart just like chickens. They know their names, they can learn all sorts of stuff. Met my first turkey at a sanctuary. Once they know you a little bit and getting a hug from a turkey is amazing. So glad Uri has the best life!
Agree, turkey hugs are amazing! They are exceptionally tuned in to unconditional love. Turkey hens especially as they don’t have the showing off thing, but the showing off of toms is “for you” so it’s still pretty sweet 😊
I bought 3 meat chickens when I bought my egg laying hen. I just thought I’d rescue them from a life intended for death. They each had their own personality. One was mean, her name was Clarice, and she complained a lot. One was shy and timid. One was my best friend and biggest helper, Coco. Fowl are amazing pets, they just have needs like every other animal.
What a good soul this lady has. She saved this baby and gained a friend 🙂
Suddenly I want a pet turkey.
I wonder if they stick their heads out of car windows like dogs do.
To be fair it was 7 bucks. A great bargain if you ask me
She saved Tuk*_ey 🤣🤣
Animals have empathy and some people too.
@@ayusuatika3688 “The Devil Comes to Steal, Kill and Destroy”.
Is amazing to see him trying to use her shoes!! I have no idea turkeys could be that smart, also good to know how long they could live without killing them. Fun fact, before going to people's dishes pigs can live 3 years, if they were not killed they could live around 20 years...they are also super smart (very close to cetaceans, just above them) and sensitive, fantastic pets, and their skin and some organs are very similar to humans, but people know already that. (edit) I'm not reading the comments, because with 25 answers I'm sure there is going to be the usual dude saying "you forgot to say tasty" or an angry one because I tried to ruin for them eating pig, that yes, fair enough, I do, I tried, because they are just huge victims of us. I also like to mention they are one of the most used animals to do experiments and body transplants because as I said before, we share very similar parts of our bodies. Yes, I am still trying to ruin eating pig for everyone. :)
piglets are killed at 6 months, sows are killed around 3-5 years once their bodies are spent.
I think farm bred turkeys for meat live shorter..
@@93Mopi yeah, turkeys are killed between 3-5 months, usually 4 months tho.
I thought that was adorable as well.
Certain animals/ poultry we only know them as meat in our meals. Quality of meat matters & not the animal alive living a life as designed by nature for them
You are amazing! Thank you for taking care of this creature. For anyone who questions
whether animals can feel “emotions,” just take a look at these videos and the kind, compassionate people who step in to help these animals in need, and watch the relationship that blossoms when we care for something other than ourselves!

... this video partly encouraged me to adopt 2 meat turkeys when I was serendipitously given the chance. They were both larger than life characters and have brought alot of unexpected joy and laughs to my family.
Sadly the male passed away from leg defomities and other genetic issues while young-
:( so sad to know now the meat birds are prone to heartbreaking issues and such short lives.
However the female is alive and well! Her name is Ramen. One of the most perpetually happy and bubbly animals i have ever known (except for, on rare occasion when her head turns bright red as she gets aggrivated with the chicken flock). She follows me around like a pup, and seems to just enjoy life (and treats!)
I was so surprised to know that they are such wonderful and personable birds ❤ thanks again for this video. Uri is amazing.
What a wonderful story! Never would imagine a turkey as a pet. Thank you for saving this innocent turkey. He's so cute!!
I used to have a pet turkey named Turkina. She was so gentle, loving, and emotional. She absolutely loved acoustic guitar. Her feathers would quiver at the sound and soon she'd be in a trance, just enjoying the music. She lived with me for many years and was a very good pet. I miss that sweet bird to this very day. RIP Turkina. You were a fine gal. 💖🙏🦃

Reminds me of an encounter I had decades ago of a lady on a convention who suffered from severe psoriasis. I cuddled with her and remember how she cried in my arms, being accepted as she is as human being and not just from the superficial shell most in our society would. I gave her a day she never forgot and lifted her spirits.
Don't just use your eyes but look with your heart and don't let others tell you what is beauty or ugly.
That's such a big reason I decided not to pursue a career in cosmetology after getting my license. There's nothing wrong with playing around with your appearance - I absolutely love wearing makeup and am going to paint my nails in a few minutes here haha - but we make money preying on the insecure and telling people (mostly women) how to look and what to do to be considered beautiful. Not only is it ridiculous, but there are WAY more things in life that are WAY more important than looking beautiful. My fondest memories of school are when the lonely elderly clients would sit in my chair and chitchat with me for an hour after I finished their hair. That's what kept me going long enough to finish school since I was almost done by the time I realized what a frankly corrupt industry it is.
Wow, I had no idea they could adjust the length of their snoods or that their heads could change color according to mood. How cool! I hope he lives many years.
Wow, he’s adorable! He’s having the life he deserves. Animals are not ingredients!! Give him a kiss from me
Aww, that is a happy, cuddly story! I'm glad you saved your little friend and bonded unconditionally! Love comes in all shapes and sizes and creatures! 💜💙💜💙💜
You know what, knowing there are such people out there makes me less scared of this world. I love how she said: "The universe sent me..." She just accept what's coming to her in life. That's great!
Good for you! Saving a food animal and treating it like the life form it is.
Look up Brady Brandwood's channel on YT to follow Leon the Lobster. Lobster saved from grocery store tank. Very fascinating.
@@michelb.8953 oh yes! Leon recently molted and it was wonderful to see that his new claws didn’t have the rubber band grooves they did after he was freed from the tank at the grocery store.

@@terredee this is why I will never patronize red lobster, seeing them suffering in those tanks I never returned.
the life form it is, is food. that's what happens to them in the wild, they get eaten by a predator
@@tonirvd3650 My point. It is only humans that can open up and complicate their lives to save another creature from a fate they deem unacceptable. It is heroic and giving and represents the best of us... and there are WAY too few examples to look up to. 😥

Why do they die so young?
@@MariaMaria-sr8zg because the way they were bred is to get big rly fast for meat production and most of the time either their joints and legs give out on them or their heart.

I've wanted a turkey companion for a long time. They're smart as a dog and very interesting. Hopefully seeing stories like this will have an effect on people's choices when it comes to food consumption. Don't believe the lies of the meat and dairy industry. There is NO way to "humanely" kill, use for profit, abuse, wear, or exploit anything.
Turkeys are actually more intelligent than the average dog. A dog typically has the mental capacity of a 2 year old, turkeys meanwhile have the mental capacity of a 3 year old
Why is being inhumane to nonhuman things wrong?
Do you eat dog meat Aiden?
@@mydogsioux I would if I had access to it. What is wrong with eating a dead animal?
The meat and dairy industry mostly does just look at them as commodities or things. When I was 8 yrs. old, I lived on a farm and we always had calves (baby cows). I was surprised at how each had their own unique personality. In the evening, I would play kind of a game of tag with them - we would run back and forth. I would chase one and when I caught up, place my hand on them, then, they would chase me and nudge with their nose. Even though everyone in my family were big on eating meat, it was at that age that I just couldn't anymore, and became a vegetarian. On the farm, they did kill a lot of animals. I was pretty powerless to stop it but it did leave a very lasting impression.
I am a delivery driver. And one time I had a flock of turkeys pass me on the side street . About 20 huge beautiful birds. It was amazing.. I love them.. I dident know they changed colors with there moods . I could quit eating meat but my cats are carnivores.. I respect and love all Gods creation.
Precious soul mates, this is beautiful! 🖤
Virtually all living creatures want the same thing., love and compassion.

His tail feathers were blue in the video because she dyed them that way- he is actually pure white except for the little stubby black beard on his breast. Now, the changing red, white and blue colors of the skin of his head are natural.

Every time I’m out and hear someone order a turkey sandwich, I cringe. I feel disgusted. I want to say, that’s an incredible companion you’re eating with so much care, thought, and deep emotions 🥹😰😰
True of most animals people eat. They feel, they care, they want to live.
@@peskycritter79 I agree. I will never eat an animal.
You must cry a River every thanksgiving
@@kiloton1920 well it’s pretty sad yeah
I don't. It's the way of life. Do you cringe when you see a lion eat a deer? When a snake eats a rabbit?
Some animals will even torture their prey. Just because you've assigned human principles to a chicken doesn't mean everyone else will.
If you don't want to eat meat, don't, but be aware that if it came down to starvation or eating you, an animal wouldn't hesitate (Non-Herbivores). They'd cannibalize their own cubs.
I lost it when she said “are u ready for your anti inflammatory smoothie” so cute
Ha! He was a moody teenager for two weeks just like us humans 🤣❤️
I hope a lot of people watch this video today and don't eat them tomorrow (Thanksgiving). Our family is vegetarian for this very reason. All animals have a SOUL and deserve to live happy lives. ❤️🙏
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing!❤🦃❤
He's beautiful and was lucky to find you. There should be more people in this world like this woman. I remember seeing a video of turkeys that were being mistreated at a factory farm. When one was intentionally killed by a worker a few turkeys tried to come to help him but it was dead and then they got stomped on by the worker. I stopped eating turkey and other meats after I saw such cruelty, miserable life, suffering, filth and ultimately inhumane death.
That is beyond upsetting. U just brought a tear to my eye w that story. I hope that “ man” has the most miserable life. I hate him so much after reading this and I’m sending evil vibes his way. I hear u w the meat thing. I eat WAY less and I will phase out eventually. Ugh what a horrible story :( those poor things!!
@@lsimon343 If you want to make these bad people who kill animals suffer, don't give them ANY of your money. Because what Lou described is the unfortunate reality for many animals that are farmed for food. Also, the people who do the killing are often psychologically traumatized, too. So not buying meat, dairy, eggs, and other animal products is a way of saying "no" to the mistreatment of humans and animals. I did it 7.5 years ago, and it changed my life. I can't recommend it enough.
This is absolutely heartbreaking and reminds me of a video on chickens being mistreated at a farm. I have always intended not to eat meat since I was in my late twenties and if I had my way I would not eat any animals. Unfortunately I am not at a place where I am independent and seems like everyone I know refuses to eat vegetables like a salad and soup. I don't even like the feeling of meat in my mouth don't like the smell of it either but I'm not under my own roof.
Thank you for not eating animals
@@lsimon343 A lot of people cut back on beef and eat "white" meat. I'm the opposite. I avoid chicken since they're treated sooo badly in factory farms while cattle still get to live a relatively natural life on the range. (only because grass is free, of course). I also pay a bit more for free range eggs and eggs are my main protein. Free range is also healthier (if it isn't a cheat) since the chickens eat a more varied natural diet outside.
My two chickens lived for 12 years taking vitamins, walks and good food, lots of love and cuddles. I miss them so much, they were such lovely pets!
Did they taste good after? I’d imagine the nutrients help
Wow I had no idea they could live that long! As an animal lover and non meat eater you’d think i would know more about these amazing creatures
I hope he carries on for a very long time, that was so beautiful thank you so much for sharing your lovely story!❤😊
I just read on his Instagram he passed away in her arms April 17. He was cuddling with her and just fell asleep forever. At least he got to pass surrounded by love. 💔
I love how much thought and appreciation is given to this bird. You’re learning and reflecting from it, whereas humans can’t even do that with one another. Love this.
What a singularly lovely woman.
I can't think of a better way to start my mornings than with a smile given to me by the staff at GeoBeats, who work hard to find and compile all these wonderful stories of human and animal bonding. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
I second the motion!

Fourthed. You help people with these animal videos. I'm confined to bed as I'm chronically ill and sometimes when I'm struggling, being here on your channel comforts me and brings my heart peace. You remind me of the good things in the world outside my room. Thank you 💝
Uri has been given all she needs and loves! You!! Thank you for the dignity and compassion you freely gave!!
Rearing a fledgeling Raven. What an awesome journey so far. Blessed to have him in our lives.
We also rescued a turkey chick... named him Tom the Turkey. He lived a lil over a year, but he grew so massive he broke his own leg, and we had to put him down. Turkeys are bred to grow at such a fast rate they cant sustain their own bone structure beyond a year. We loved Tom, and we all were devastated when we had to put him to sleep. We never bought a turkey since.
heritage breed turkeys aren't like that. they are not bred to grow large and grow rapidly. its just the factory farm breeds (which generally have all white plumage.) heritage breeds do not require artificial reproduction. their weight does not harm their skeleton and heart except normal wear and tear just like the rest of us. and heritage breed turkey are even more intelligent than the factory farm ones. this is because the factory farm ones are bred to be docile. that is not saying heritage breeds are not as friendly as the factory farm breeds.
@@jerryadams6799 Honestly, I think the farm & supply store sold us turkey chicks to be slaughtered, not to be kept.
@@THEvagabond29 usually farms store just have the meat turkeys. To get a heritage breed you need to deal with the hatchery or a farmer that has some. the hatcheries aren't bad but usually there is a minimum so the babies can stay warm in shipping. it is perfectly safe. they don't need to eat or drink for their first three days owing to them internalizing the yolk just before hatching. and actually the USPS and other couriers seem not to abuse the packages with breathing holes and cheeping noises coming out of it. Not as often as other packages. but if you can't house 8 birds (for example) the hatchery may not be the way to go. you could also get hatching eggs sent to you if you have an incubator. that can avoid mailing minimums and hatching the eggs is entertaining too.
I just learned about different turkey head floppy things, and what they mean. That's amazing!
This just made me cry of pure joy. For the both of you. What an amazingly honest and beautiful bird he is. Not being able to hide your mood like that should be a feature on humans too.
He's a gorgeous boy with such character ,glad he's having a good life
What a amazing thing to see. People forget that these birds have feelings and that they have the capacity for love just as we do as all living creatures do. What a beautiful bond they have.
Which is part of the reason I became a vegetarian. When I see two cow's rubbing each other exchanging affection, I know they have feelings.
He is absolutely Beautiful and so are You 💗❤️💗
God Bless Your Loving Heart ⚘️
He tries to wear her shoes that is just so funny & cute omg what a fun personality he has! Very interesting animal.
I learned so much about turkeys they will have a life long impression. Thank you so much for telling us about them!
