About This Project

On March 2nd, @TheReal_JDavis took a video of turkeys in his neighborhood circling a dead cat. He received thousands of tweets in response to this video speculating the turkeys are exhibiting this behavior. The short answer is, we don't currently know why. In this study we will first attempt to reproduce the behavior with a dead cat and a group of turkeys. If there is more interest from the public, will test additional hypotheses.
