Turbo props

Hi,

I have PPL and always watch whatever aviation related program is on tv.

One thing I have noticed is when turboprop aircraft start up or shut down, the props appeared to be fully feathered.

Now if I tried that in a piper arrow, it would shake the engine to bits..

Why are turbines different?
