My turkey tap dances but why?

[curliegirlie89]

I have a male Bourbon Red that sometimes does this tap dancing thing. It’s can go on for several minutes. Is it a dominance thing? A mating thing? I have a great video but I can’t figure out how to post it.

It is masturbating.

To post a video you must first have it uploaded somewhere else such as YouTube. Once you have the URL, you can paste the URL into the message box. Once the URL is posted, BYC will automatically link the video.

Yes and quite a tap dance it is.

Sometimes my tom does it while I am sitting in their pen with my legs out in front of me. He thinks I am a hen.

That’s too funny. He did his “tap dance” for a good 2-3 full minutes all around me.

Thanks for the information. I’ll have to remind Tom that I’m married.
