I used to have a turkey come to my home in Penna. every morning. Since we lived right next to some woods, it would come from under the rushes, and saunter herself to our bird feeder.
Turkeys are pretty unpredictable until they've gotten used to you. The flock that used to hang around my house (and still might be doing so -- I don't get wildlife updates) would go into Threat Display until they figured out that *I* was the guy putting the corn out for 'em.
After that, they were like cats at suppertime -- ever had seven 20-pound birds all trying to rub your ankles at the same time?
So...what happened??? Won't animal control trap & relocate it?

ReplyDeleteTHIS IS HER PECKING AROUND.
Ah, Mrs. K....ever the animal lover! I notice you aren't worried about me! What if had turned and chased and attacked me?
ReplyDeleteBOQ - Of course you have a turkey...you're amazing
Who ever heard of an attack turkey!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing up this early????
ReplyDeleteAnd I think wild turkeys do attack. But then I would never bet on my knowledge of animals.

Maggie, you can take on admirals but not a turkey?!?!? C'mon!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am up this early because
A) I nap in the afternoon.
B) I leave the house by 6:30 since one of my required math classes begins at 7AM!!
