If you ever get a chance, watch the documentary "My Life As A Turkey", about a scientists who hatches turkey eggs, then is treated as their mother as they grow. Delightful, and insightful.
We have wild turkeys here in WNY, but they're good at hiding. Once, several years ago, sibling #3 of 4 was driving on the highway, and a turkey flew right across her windshield! Good thing she didn't hit it!
Hi Ann, To respond to your comment, the turkey on Dani's blog was asking everyone to Eat Beef! And for good reason. Did you know that wild turkeys are actually on the Endangered Species List? I found that out doing research for one of my posts.
I love, love, love the picture of the wild turkey in Florida. It would be a great shame to lose them.
I have heard that in the future everyone will be eating manufactured meat because cows and likely pigs emit too much methane which is also dangerous for the planet. Turkeys, on the other hand, are harmless to the environment. On that note, I hope you were able to enjoy asome turkey and fixings for your Tnanksgiving supper. I figure you and I will be long gone by the time the time "cultured" meat becomes the norm.
BOL!!! Come to think of it, the wild vulture turkeys must have been in hiding the past few days as we hadn't seen them by the donkeys' field. but they were there today, probably picking at leftovers on the ground:)
we think it s safe now... for a long time ;O)
ReplyDeleteWe think it's safe for a month at least.

You are safe, no one wants to see turkey right now. :) XO
ReplyDeletePoor babies!
ReplyDeleteGrandma sent me a picture of a turkey walking on the beach yelling, "I'm a fat seagull, leave me alone!"
ReplyDeleteIt isn't safe as long as humans are near.
ReplyDeleteWe had a group of them in our yard when we were cooking dinner. I think they were planning a counter attack.
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Come on down! Time for us to grab a nice meal, and to give thanks for another year unscathed!
ReplyDeleteYep - safe for now.....unless somebody gets a hankering for another round of Turkey and Dressing !!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy
Hee! Hee! They look like the turkeys we have been seeing around here (yes, we really do have wild turkeys).
