Agreed, which is why I bought a digital thermometer and prob my bird multiple times in different locations and depths to make absolutely sure of this.
Turkey takes hours depending on the size and weight. Chicken is a bit less.
Ducks are usually about five or six pounds and very fatty which means they cook a bit faster than most other birds. I don’t normally roast them myself, I cut them into chunks and make a duck soup or stew.
… and a critical skill for any would be Thanksgiving chef out there … LEARN TO MAKE TASTY SAVOURY GRAVY! It doesn’t matter how well you cook your turkey, chicken or duck, if you don’t make a good gravy with it, it won’t be fun for anyone.
Do you have a link to the video? or at least a description so that we can find it? I’m always on the lookout for new ways to make gravy … to me it’s the key to any big feast.

I just watched Babish (dude in YouTube) make a browned-butter roux. What a game changer for gravy.

Not sure if this is the video OP meant, but here’s one of Babish making Gravy.
