turkeys circling a dead cat -- anyone?

Can anyone explain this?  I have seen some strange things in the woods, but never have i seen something like this.

Nope can't explain it, but glad someone got it on video. Wonder how long they circled the cat? Weird birds for sure

I watched a hen and 9-10 3\4 grown youngins. They were walking down the road in front of my house with a cat watching then like they were dinner. The cat wondered up to them like he didn't know they were there, when he was close to them  in a quick move they surrounded  the cat and were about to kick his but, he ran like hell to get away from them, he changed his mind about turkey dinner and they left alone. I think those birds were going to have that cat for lunch.
