Turkeys

[GiG]

No, not political ones, real turkeys.
Ran straight into a rafter of 10 wild turkeys at the end of my road this morning on the way to work.
They looked real healthy and not skeered at all.   
Took pictures of them on my phone, if anyone would like to see them...

Earlier this spring I had a hen and 4 little ones that kept coming up and eating the spillover from the bird feeders.
They are thick around here.

They're everywhere here. In downtown Falmouth, there's a flock that likes to wander in and out of the shops on Main St......

a flock is wild turkeys and a rafter or gang is domesticated turkeys. Learn something new everyday.

So a group of FSA voters is a rafter or gang?  Good to know.

So a group of domesticated turkeys from the farm/processing plant that have escaped into the wild would be called gang flockers? Or would they be out gang rafting?

any of them holding a fork (in the road) ?

I don't know if the damn things are getting braver or more stupider. I came around a corner a couple years ago an one jumped up next to me, close but no cigar an I never want to hit one.

duh,  sort of like when Jessica Simpson thought Chicken of the Sea was really chicken..

Whatever you do, if you see one turkey in the gravel in front of you on the Valkyrie like I had encountered this summer, do NOT beep the horn.   It flew up along with about 4-5 of his buddies right in front of my cycle so close to front windshield could hear teh wings flapping.  I ducked just in case like it would have done any good ducking 1 foot??

We dismantled a whole turkey today, with my growing kid age 15 NO JOKE eating at least 5-6 lbs. (1/2 a turkey all breast meat) by himself along with 2-3 lbs of mash potatoes.  Where he put it I have no clue he does it all the time and is not overweight either, no idea how that happens.  If I could even attempt to eat that much,  I would be puking for a week.  Even age 15-20,  I could never eat 1/2 of what he ate today.  He eats NO joke about 10 big cut up into wedges baked potatoes every other night or so in the oven with just seasoned salt on them.    Who can eat 10 big potatoes let alone 4-6 of them???
