We raise North American Wild turkeys. They do not have the "wild" bred out of them like the domesticated turkeys. They fly, swim like ducks, and tree roost. One season a few years ago, the turkeys laid and hatched late VERY late in season, and only one actually hatched and survived (thanks to incubation). It was too small to be put with the larger turkeys by itself, so I raised it as my own. It would sit on my should like a giant pirate, I would let it lay across my lap to nap during the day, we became VERY close. And it was VERY telepathic. To this day I've never experienced anything so strange! For example, It slept outside, and I slept inside. It would be very quiet in the mornings until I would lift my torso to get up in the mornings. And then it would start yelling at me. Every. Time. It was hilarious! Again, I was inside my house, not near any windows near it, and it was outside. No way could it hear/see any mocements within the brick house. (But I could hear it! Turkeys are LOUD!).
On the day it passed away, I "heard" it the whole day. My husband got annoyed because I couldn't stop the "Did you hear that? It sounds like the turkey crying! There it is, again! Did you hear that?" It contracted an illness from being near the other turkeys a year later. We didn't even know it was sick. But when I came home that day, I heard it crying the same exact way I had been 'hearing' it all day. I'm sorry for the terrible ending to this story, and I still miss my 'baby', though it is 5years later. But my point is that birds, we'll, specifically wild turkeys, have the ability to bond and be VERY telepathic. And if I hadn't encountered it myself, I would've thought this idea to be looney. But it couldn't be more true!
