Description

In the bustling world of Farmer Green’s farmyard, one bird rules the roost with flamboyant flair. Turkey Proudfoot boasts a spectacular, copper‑tinged tail and a booming “gobble, gobble” that delights the hen turkeys, who admire his elegance and confidence. The rest of the animals, however, view his high‑stepping stride and loud chatter as boastful and bothersome, and they’re quick to challenge his self‑appointed authority.

When Proudfoot’s arrogance leads him into a clash with the farmer, a swift lesson reminds him that pride can be knocked down as easily as a stray feather. Meanwhile, the farm’s six quirky geese drift together to the pond, a habit that irritates the pompous turkey and hints at the curious encounters yet to come. Listeners will find humor in his swagger, tension in his rivalries, and the promise of a farmyard tale where even the most pompous feathered ruler might learn a little humility.
