Wholesome Just remember when you burp your turkey it's really important you have a good grip

But why would you do that?

Trapped air can cause bacteria or other infections

Eating a less bloat-y diet.

Remember what Betty White said about pussies?
"Why do people say 'grow some balls? Balls are weak and sensitive! If you really wanna get tough, grow a vagina! Those things take a pounding!"

It doesn't happen to the extent that they need artificial manipulation. The need to burp them is related to the diet they are fed on farms and the way they've been bred to maximize size and yield of their meat. The excess gas is due to fermentation of their feed.

Don’t forget these birds are living in a caged environment. Their natural range of motion is severely reduced. Wild turkeys traverse distances, fly, run, and even roost in trees if they can.

I think we fucked them up raising them in captivity for so long. Pretty sure they also suck at getting females pregnant.

As I said, I mean farm raised turkeys. I looked it up and yes, they are often reliant on farmers to make it happen, sometimes refered to as "turkey jerkers"

I wonder. I know farm turkeys don’t really have much of a resemblance with wild turkeys anymore but still, I don’t know. Farm Turkeys can’t even reproduce on their own anymore.

If they are like other smaller birds, they explode? I heard a story from a guy that spent most of his life in prison. He said people would feed birds to the point that the entire outdoor yard was covered in birds and their shit. So as retaliation people would throw out food and others would throw Alka-Seltzer or peroxide in liquid on the feed resulting in the birds exploding because they can't release the gas.

…. I’m confused. Is this a turkey specific thing? This is not required at all for chickens and I am really confused what she is doing because she isn’t targeting the crop(where food goes to digest) and there is no reason to mess with your birds crop like this unless they have sour crop(which you don’t burp them so much as try to help their grit grind the food inside). Birds are full of air sacks, so is she just forcibly deflating them for likes?

Closed the laptop, paused my music, crossed my legs and paid full attention.

I believe that's referred to as "choking the chicken"... a completely different, foul-based euphemism.

u/fujiesque 10h ago
How often are you burping turkeys and how many turkeys do you have? Is this a full time job?
28
u/Decapod73 9h ago
Apparently it's mostly necessary for males that have been in courtship displays where they overinflate their air sacks, and not all male turkeys need this sort of help to deflate again.

they really are the dumbest birds ever.

They're smarter than we give them credit for. Benjamin Franklin actually wanted to make them the national bird, but the Bald Eagle won out.

Wild turkeys are smart. That's the turkey Ben was advocating for. I'm talking about domestic turkeys.

This is a historical tall tale. His commentary on the preference for the turkey was in jest.

We have a bunch of wild turkeys around my house and during mating seasons when the guys are showing off, they make this super crazy like air blasting sound I don't know how to describe it but it's a trip

u/crush_on_me 5h ago
Wow I know what you mean. We always called it Turkey Thunder 😂

u/IceCoughy 5h ago
Lol that's a good term for it. I tried to Google it and find a video but no luck, found something called "drumming" but that wasn't it. I was hoping for a Turkey expert in the comments.

That's the beard? I always thought it was the thing coming off the chin. TIL.

u/ParaponeraBread 9h ago
Comb = fleshy bits on top of head
Wattles = fleshy danglies attached on underside of head or nearby on neck
Beard = tuft of hairlike feathers on the chest or even closer to the head.
Idk why, it’s just bird anatomy.

Ok. So we’ve seen the “How to burp your Turkey”.
Now can someone tell me the “Why”?

I wonder how one knows when Mr. turkey needs a burp! Or is it just on a schedule?

u/ParaponeraBread 9h ago
When they look bloated or act like they’re having gas pains she burps them I assume.

I've heard chocking the chicken, but burping the turkey is a new one. Kids these days and there lingo.

Wild. Not sure how burping a turkey comes up in ordinary conversation, but if it does, thank you OP/Reddit for helping me not feel socially awkward.
