When most people decide go after a turkey, they use a gun or a bow and arrow.
But this kid decided that his bare hands would do just the trick.
I do have a couple of questions in regards to how this whole thing went down, and by a couple of questions, I actually mean around a million of them.
First off, where is this taking place? Not only am I interested in which part of the country, I’m also wondering what type of room this is in the family’s house.
Looks like it’s some sort of garage or porch, and I can’t help but notice that it looks like a nice ladder is being thrown away in that Brute garbage can behind the kid, but I’ll do my best to not get sidetracked here…
Next, why is a huge-ass turkey just hanging out with these people? If this is their garage, why did the turkey feel inclined to walk right up to a man-made structure with what sounds like a good number of people in it?
Turkeys are commonly spooked by things that are out of the norm, so maybe this turkey is like those city squirrels that don’t really care about personal space or getting near people.
And finally, what was going through this toddler’s head to make him think “you know what, I’m gonna punch this turkey in its weird, wrinkly head?”
I will say, I guess it’s better than the other way around. I’ve crafted a good number of “people interacting with animals” stories where the person gets too close to the animal and provokes it to attack.
Instead of that happening, this kid decided to bring the fight to the turkey, and threw an impressive right hook which landed right on the turkey’s face. The funny thing is that the turkey just kind of ate the punch and didn’t really react at all.
I expected it to fight back or even run off (or fly, since turkeys can do so for short distances), but nope. The turkey just sat there and took it like Rocky.
Take a look:
