Nature Show - "My Life As A Turkey"

[Cabin Fever]

Came across this show from the other PBS link that was posted. Just finished watching it and really liked it! Very interesting... http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/my-life-as-a-turkey/full-episode/7378/

 

After a local farmer left a bowl of eggs on Joe Hutto’s front porch, his life was forever changed. Hutto, possessing a broad background in the natural sciences and an interest in imprinting young animals, incubated the eggs and waited for them to hatch. As the chicks emerged from their shells, they locked eyes with an unusual but dedicated mother. One man’s remarkable experience of raising a group of wild turkey hatchlings to adulthood.

Absolutely fascinating!

 

I found it intriguing that this was a recreation of the original individual's experience and was able to be relived a 2nd time with an actor and film crews.

I clicked on to the link expecting to hop and skip threw it and ended up watching every single minute of it, very enjoyable.

Yeah - I just watched it - it was a good show. I would like to get some turkeys to follow me around during deer season.

I thought that the "re-creation" went quite well for the CGI graphics were good ...

Good show though I'd recommend it if for no other reason it clearly shows calling in a turkey is blind luck or someone with some real knowledge.

Does it go out with a "BANG!"?
