It was fun to watch, but I was expecting the "turkey-boy" incident.
What I found unusual was the fact that this guy is raising animals on his own, with little supervision. I'm not saying that he's a nature kook, but with the animals he cares for, he seems like he wants to domesticate the animals in his care. I'm not talking about taming the animals to perform tricks, but rather perpepuate the familiariity with humans so that they could not be released into the wild.

Thankfully the turkeys did return to the wild, but just before the "Turkey-boy" incident he tried to get them to follow him (like he was still their "parent"). Maybe he should try and follow the example they used when raising the California Condors and eliminate the "human" connection altogether?
