The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 75

The Turkey

The Turkey.

The Turkey is a large blew bird, genelly fat, with thick legs. It has no tail worth mentioning at the side of a cock's tail, but it has instead a long piece of skin hanging from its head and under its chin just like red tripe. This skin is genelly dirty at the bottom because of draggling on the ground when the bird is a feeding. The Turkey is the king of the goose and most other birds, but the eagle can fight it. It is like a very big cock if it wasnt for the tail. It is not cruel to kill a Turkey, if only you take it into the back yard, and use a sharp knife, and the Turkey is yours. Boys like the Turkey to run after them, because they get home quicker without feeling tired, and the Turkey has to go all the way back.
