BTW: Wild turkeys are omnivorous, but I couldn’t find anything definitive as far as a carrion diet. Maybe these guys were waiting for insects (which they do nosh on) to show up.

It’s from a 1963 educational film put out by Bell Labs, titled “Principles of the Optical Maser”. It has its occasional moments of sheer electromagnetic terror.
PS: I’m also curious as to the source of the audio; I sense low budget, 70s/80s exploitation stuff.

Okay. They’re stuck in a “DO” loop. The turkeys symbolize the MAGAists, and the cat symbolizes ‘facts’.
