Here's this morning's challenge question: The average life span of one of THESE is a year and a half. The oldest one on record, though, went for 15 years. What?
It's a TURKEY!
The very oldest on record hailed, we're proud to say, from Massachusetts.
Other things you may not know about the bird you'll enjoy tomorrow:
-
A group of turkeys is called a rafter or a gang.
-
Wild turkeys are promiscuous, with gobblers trying to breed with as many hens as possible during mating season.
-
Everyone knows the “gobble-gobble” turkey sound, but it’s one of only 28 different calls the birds produce. They also let out some “putts,” “yelps” and “hisses.”
-
Turkeys apparently have dandruff problems!
We are not, however, recommending basting with Head & Shoulders tomorrow...
Walter knew it right away this morning - he's won a $30 gift card to Alberto's!
