The 411:
I just got mine in the mail today. I am so excited to watch it with the kids this weekend. We did not get to see it in the movies and finding movies that are good for the kids and for me is important to my family time. We love sitting together and watching something that we can all enjoy.
Here are Ten Things
You Didn’t Know About Turkeys
Who said Turkey
season was over? From the Academy Award®-Winning producer of Shrek*
comes a hilarious animated adventure about two turkeys from opposite sides of
the tracks who travel back in time in order to keep their species off the
Thanksgiving menu. Featuring an all-star voice cast, including Owen Wilson, Woody
Harrelson and Amy Poehler, Free Birds is loaded with laughs and stuffed with
fun for the whole family!
In
anticipation of the film’s Blu-ray and DVD release, we’ve compiled a list of
fun turkey facts so you can better understand the ins and outs of the Free
Birds gang!
1. Turkeys need to be trained to eat. In order for
turkeys to reach their biggest size, they must be taught to eat small meals
throughout the day, instead of their natural routine of consistently gorging
themselves on food.
2. A turkey’s
snood (red thing attached to the beak) serves no functional purpose.
3. A
turkey’s gobble can be heard from a mile away. Talk about a loud mouth!
4. Young
turkeys are called “poults.”
5.
Turkeys were domesticated by Native
Americans in pre-Columbian Mexico,
more
than 500 years ago. They arrived in Spain in 1519 and quickly spread to the
rest of Europe.
6.
Turkeys prefer to sleep in trees. They
do this as a way of avoiding predators in the wild.
7.
Female turkeys (hens) do not gobble.
Instead, they communicate through low-chirps and clicking noises.
8.
Wild turkeys can fly. They are actually
quite fast, reaching speeds as fast as 55mph.
9.
Turkeys can blush. This usually takes
place when they are frightened, agitated, excited, or ill. And here we thought
they were just bashful!
10.
A turkey’s stomach has a container
called the gizzard. It contains small stones the turkey has swallowed which
help aid with breaking down food for digestion, since the birds do not have
teeth.
