Humans aren't the only ones who are ready to bend it like Beckham. While we've seen dogs like Purin show off their soccer skills, it turns out wild turkeys like playing soccer, too!
In the video, a little girl is seen playing with an inflatable beach ball in the backyard when a turkey wanders over. He wants in on the action is is ready to play.
"It just showed up in my mom's backyard tonight and started playing ball with us," the YouTube user wrote.
The little girl places the ball down, and the turkey kicks it with gusto! Even if you’re not a fan of soccer, this video will have you cheering and shouting, "GOAL!" It’s so beautiful to see unlikely friendships between humans and animals — like Rupert the horse, who has become a hit at retirement homes.
The adorable pair continues to kick the ball around and play in the back yard. The turkey could have gone away at any point but seemed to like the company of his little human pal. Don't you just love how gentle the little girl is with this wild animal?
