A Nigerian woman experienced an extraordinary surprise when she stepped outside her home only to find two unexpected guests wandering around her property - two fully grown turkeys that had somehow made their way into her enclosed compound.
The Shocking Discovery
The incident occurred on November 21, 2025, when the lady identified as TikTok user @minilily02 opened her door to discover the large birds moving about freely in her personal space. The bewildered woman immediately recorded the unusual scene, capturing her confusion and amazement at finding the turkeys in her compound.
In the now-viral video, the lady can be heard expressing her disbelief, repeatedly questioning how the birds managed to enter her property. "How did these turkeys enter inside? Help me please," she captioned her social media post, clearly stunned by the unexpected avian visitors that appeared as if they had always lived there.
Social Media Reactions and Theories
The video quickly gained traction on TikTok, sparking widespread reactions from netizens who offered various explanations and humorous comments about the situation. Many users were equally surprised by the turkeys' presence, while others focused on solving the mystery of how they accessed the compound.
Several commenters suggested practical explanations for the turkeys' entry. User @Denger Shelby 256 pointed out that "Those turkeys have wings so they can fly over the fence so that is how they entered there," while others theorized the birds might have followed someone through an open gate or found another opening.
The unexpected visit prompted diverse reactions from social media users:

Broader Context and Similar Incidents
This isn't the first time turkeys have made unexpected appearances in Nigerian compounds. Legit.ng had previously reported another unusual turkey encounter where a Nigerian man was surprised to see a turkey following his pregnant wife everywhere around their property.
The phenomenon raises questions about urban wildlife and how domesticated animals sometimes find their way into unexpected places. While some viewers found the situation frightening, others like @_mangagurl noted that "People see things differently what's scary to others might be an opportunity to another person, it's all about perspective."
As the holiday season approaches, several commenters humorously suggested the turkeys might be early Christmas gifts or provisions. User @Ade joked: "Na wa for una ooh Jesus carry two turkey come from heaven, one for him birthday, one for new year una dey shout God forbid Jesus please forgive them."
The viral video continues to generate engagement and discussion online, highlighting how unexpected encounters with animals can capture public imagination and spark both concern and humor within Nigerian social media communities.
