2008 Thanksgiving event

There are two parts to the 2008 Thanksgiving event, the Hidden Turkeys and the Turkey Carnage.

Hidden Turkeys
Much like Penguin Hide and Seek, there are ten turkeys concealing themselves in disguises around Lumbridge, Falador, and Varrock. If players spot one (by spying on them in exactly the same way as a penguin), they'll give a hint to find another turkey. If players spot all ten, they will be awarded with a fabulous cornucopia. To help players keep track of these turkeys, players can get a book from the brother of the Lumbridge Castle Cook, however this book is not required. You can see the turkeys in the map (in yellow, like the other NPCs).

Locations of the turkeys: note: the turkeys roam around, so it is impossible to give the exact location. However, here are the estimated locations.

Locations of the turkeys:


 * The Lumbridge Swamp.
 * Outside of Lumbridge by the tutors.
 * South of the Mining Guild in Falador.
 * Near the Al Kharid platelegs store. Generally in Al Kharid city.
 * In the Al Kharid Mine with scorpions.
 * Near to the entrance of the Edgeville Dungeon, south of the bank.
 * Just outside of Draynor Manor (inside the manor grounds), to the north, and near the Evil turnip patch.
 * Near the Apothecary in Varrock.
 * Near the Monastery.
 * Mudskipper Point, near the Fairy Ring.

Turkey Carnage
If players prefer a more approach to get to the sweet flavor of turkey drumsticks, they will find undisguised turkeys waddling about in groups throughout the previously mentioned cities. Killing them will reward them with raw turkey or raw turkey drumstick (either whole or a single drumstick) or a cornucopia. If you miss your chance to get your hands on a cornucopia they will be dropped by certain birds after the event. The killable turkeys can be found near most Free-to-play cities and are similar stats to goblins.

It may be a glitch, but the Give Thanks emote can also be obtained this way.

Trivia

 * This is the first Thanksgiving related "event" in RuneScape.
 * This event is out of the ordinary, considering that it is attached solely to the Thanksgiving holiday of the United-States. This holiday takes place on the second Monday in October in Canada and is not celebrated at all in any other country, including England where the Jagex company is based. The United States of America celebrates Thanksgiving as a holiday to commemorate the first successful harvest in America by the Pilgrims who had emigrated from England.

If you do this your turkey will go all glitchy≤±≥
 * When a plyer attempted to cook more than 1 turkey at a time, it would cook 1 and then give you the error "You have run our of raw chicken to cook". This has been fixed.
 * When a player did the Give Thanks emote while holding a 2-handed sword they would only hold it in one hand after the emote is over. However, Jagex seemed to be aware of it, and made a short system update to fix it only about an hour after the release.
 * If an enemy is attacked and then you do the emote, you turn into a giant turkey for the emotes duration!
 * In the bar (location) in Port Sarim, at world 68 there was a glitch where a turkey was stuck in the wall, and if you killed it another one appeared at the same place. This was a very good way gaining the Give Thanks emote.
 * When the event came out, when you click on two emotes(one after the other) you will only do the first one, and a message will be given to you. The message is: You're already doing an emote!
 * As of now, if you use Ring of Stone or Easter Ring but manage to click the Give Thanks emote before transformation into either Stone/Egg, you will instead turn into a Giant Turkey for a minimal amount of time.
 * When you use a tinderbox on a log and rapidly press emote you will be a big Turkey. (This is a bug)
