ALBAWABA - A group of turkeys recently went viral after a clip showcased them circling a Harris gravestone. Social media users flocked to comment sections linking the incident to an eerie bad omen for Former Vice President of the US Kamala Harris.
The footage in question was captured at the Riverside Cemetery in Fargo, North Dakota. The man who captured the video added, "It was quite bizarre."
By the time of reporting, with just "Harris" written on it, it's still unclear who the gravestone belongs to.
Bad omen? Video captures turkeys circling Harris gravestone
Several others pointed out that turkeys tend to circle around dead things but the reason they do it remains unknown. On the contrary, a video that was widely shared across social media in 2017 also displayed turkeys circling the body of a deceased cat.
National Wild Turkey Federation's Mark Hatfield said in a 2017 blog post, "Turkeys are very basic." He added that they were simply scared of approaching the dead cat due to it being a possible threat, but ended up in a circle slumber.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Scott Gardner told The Verge in 2017 that Turkeys can also forget why they circle things and end up just following the leading bird.
A user on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) wrote, "Just turkeys being turkeys—or a warning from nature? Either way, the timing is uncanny."
Another added, "Kamala's political career hasn't blinked in a while."
