Imagine going to your neighborhood bar and seeing a man chit-chatting with his turkey. That’s the charming scene that’s frequently observed in Maidstone, Kent, where T2, Dave Brooker’s pet turkey, is the talk of the town. The 56-year-old animal lover Brooker and T2 have a special and endearing friendship and bond which is very beautiful!
The video bellow demonstrates the unanticipated friendships that arise in life. This is a proof that animals can be complete best friends with people too! It transcends even the boundaries of species! T2 had difficulties throughout her early life. She was born in inclement weather on Dave’s property. But the good times were waiting for her.
However, T2 was able to survive because of Dave’s unwavering efforts, which included putting up a heated brooder. Dave fed and took care of her for hours on end, which may be why she developed an attachment to him. T2 choose Dave, while her turkey siblings went back to their mother. “Since then, she literally goes everywhere with me,” he claims.
Just think of how happy a local would be to see Dave and T2 sitting at a light or maybe having dinner together at the White Horse tavern. The image of T2 chowing down on a scotch egg while Dave tucks into his supper has left many amazed and pleased.
Dave also adds, “She’s like my child”, which shows how real and strong their bond actually is! They even sleep in the same room and share their lifestyle in all possible ways! The pair is well-liked outside of Maidstone as well. Across the world, animal enthusiasts adore witnessing the small turkey interacting with her human.
Even though they spend their days together, Dave’s job as a Tesco online order picker keeps them apart. But there’s no denying T2’s impact on him.

He acknowledges, “She’s had a lovely effect on me.” Now, check out the video bellow to learn more about their story and see how strong their bond actually is!
