onomatopoetically speaking


Apparently only turkeys in english speaking countries say gobble gobble. I found this list (below) of turkey sounds in foreign languages. I'm not really sure how hebrew turkeys sounds...i can't imagine them making that exact noise...

Afrikaans: Kalkoen kloek
Albanian: krrull krrull
Danish: Kalkunen klukker
English: gobble gobble
Esperanto: glu-glu-glu
French: glouglou
Hebrew: Tarnegoley hodu mekarkerim
Montenegrin: glu-glu
Portuguese: glugluglugluglu
Turkish: glu glu
Ukrainian: glyu-glyu

If turkeys in Turkey say glu glu, well then, that's good enough for me!

Happy Thanksgiving!
