Turkey Judges Kid Doing Strange Dance And Saying "Gobble Gobble"

We do not, as a society, talk enough about how judgmental the animals in our lives actually are to us. From time to time you’ll see articles about the serious side eye that two celebrities give each other at some function somewhere in Hollywood. However, you haven’t really been side eyed until your dog stares you down after you do something silly in front of them. Seriously, you think your cat judges you, and they do, but a small dog might have them beat.

The little boy in this video wants the turkey on the other side of the fence to talk back to him. So the little boy is doing a strange dance. I guess he thinks that he is flapping his arms as wings the way a bird might, but turkeys don’t really flap in that way. While the boy is flapping his arms keeps saying, “Gobble Gobble” over and over again. The turkey does not understand all what this little boy is trying to do and just kind of blankly stares at the boy.

Now, I do know that turkeys are known to be some of the dumbest animals in the world. To be fair to the turkey, domesticated turkeys are generally where the moniker “dumbest animal” comes from. Wild turkeys are pretty good at surviving and staying out of danger. Also, the staring at rain until they drown is not exactly true. Some birds do have an inherited condition that causes them to stare at the sky for up to 30 seconds at a time but this is more like a bad muscle spasm. Either way, the turkey in this video is one judgmental bird.
