  • Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
    There’s a retirement home here in Alabama that has several interesting animals outside for the residents. There are two turkeys that seem to have quite the attitude. It’s a rare opportunity to get a really good close-up look at a turkey. Of course the gobble is known to all but the other sounds they make are quite interesting and unexpected at times. I hope you enjoy looking at this turkey with me for a couple of minutes.

    Hey Destin. The head of the turkey, especially red portions (caruncle, snood, and wattle), are also a little chameleonic. They change quite rapidly from red to white depending on their mood, and the level of threat. They're also fascinating to watch mating, as it is quite a long process. We have a small farm with a number of different animals. During the summer up to about 250 birds. We love our turkeys!

    Definitely a fighting purr that he's making. You can also tell by the bird's stance and fluffed feathers. I'm not a bird/turkey expert but I did grow up hunting turkey and also raising them so I have learned a lot about them. They actually have a very social communication structure as they move along together scratching for food in the woods which is interesting to watch.

    Turkeys are very easy to hunt in Oregon. They were introduced some years ago and didn't do too well until the they lost their fear of humans and moved into cities, suburbs, and around rural homes. They roam streets and yards and can be seen in nearly every field and sometimes even in parking lots. They thrive on the grass and seed around homes, but lacking any fear of people... very easy to harvest. Like 9 iron easy.

    In my home town there's a private house where the owner has some turkeys... I believe about ten of them.
    Well, back in February during the night there was quite a bad weather, with strong winds (up to 90kmph, or around 60mph) and part of the fence of that was had been damaged. Well, around at 6am I was patrolling (I'm a civil defense rescue volunteer) that area when, after a steep curve, I've found all of those turkeys in the middle of the road: after the fence collapsed, all started strolling around, more curious than scared I can tell...
    ... well, so (since them were a danger on the road) I tried and pushed them back around the fenced-area. Them weren't so much cooperative 🤔 but what left me absolutely speechless was that moment I decided I was sick&tired of gently pushing, and I clapped my hands screaming "COME ON! GO *THAT* WAY!"... not only because finally them entered their "house", but mostly because a couple of them *jumped from road to the grass by "flying" like 8-10 metres (around 20-30-ish ft)...* I didn't knew them can actually fly 😱😂😂
