Scotty, we found a new job for you. Because you're such a turkey, your unique talents will be well used here:

There’s nothing glamorous about modern turkey farming. Warning: This is about to get weird.
“The semen collection, they actually kind of like it,” says US Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientist Julie Long. “There are some birds that, the minute you walk into a room, they are like, ‘Oh yay!’ because they know what’s about to happen.”
It all starts with a farm worker slapping on a pair of gloves and wading into a barn full of toms, as male turkeys are known. To collect turkey semen, the worker [Scotty] reaches down and begins “rubbing the tush” of a bird. According to the Merck Veterinary Manual, this stimulates the phallus, which “is followed quickly by pushing the tail forward with one hand and, at the same time, using the thumb and forefinger of the same hand to apply pressure in the area and to ‘milk’ semen from the ducts of this organ.”

amusing that they use the term "milking" as a euphemism for what it really is. I guess the DAIRY Queen has taken on a new meaning.....
