00:00My name's Dave Brooker, this is Titu in her buggy.
00:06She's three and a half years old.
00:09She's my pet turkey.
00:11I've had her since she was an egg.
00:15I think she imprinted on me as a chick.
00:19And this year we've decided to do a park run together.
00:22I just think it's something novel.
00:24People love seeing her when they're out and about because, you know, she'll go shopping
00:29with me or she goes to the pub with me quite a lot.
00:33She's normally the centre of attention.
00:36So I just thought it'd be lovely to do it.
00:39Children love us, so there's a lot of children at Christmas Day Park Run.
00:42It might make people feel a little bit guilty about eating turkey because they're lovely
00:47animals.
00:50They're very intelligent and very clever.
00:51So she convinced me to go vegetarian once I realised how intelligent they were.
00:58So yeah, it was just a nice idea, you know, to hopefully brighten a few people's mornings
01:04as well.
01:05A lot of people will probably go, is she for dinner?
01:08You'll get some people ask that and you're like, no, she's a pet.
01:12Most people are really absolutely astounded that she's so tame and that we just walk among
01:17the children, let the children pet her.
01:21It's 5k.
01:23So the plan is for her to be in the buggy for most of it.
01:27But hopefully let her, you know, sort of get out and finish on her own and do the last
01:3110 metres on her own.
01:32You know, I know a lot of people do park run with the dogs, so why not with the turkey?
