Yes, the wild turkey. A wild turkey isn't like the fat white ones they grow on farms; it is a very smart, fast bird with very good eyesight (it is one of the few non-human animals with full color vision) and the ability to blend into its surroundings.
It's a good thing he didn't get his way...if he had, we might be revering turkeys and eating eagles at Thanksgiving.
