Wild turkeys. They’re comical and I love to watch them…
.
.
But then they discovered my deer grain pans.
.
.
I chased them, but half heartedly and with ridiculously cringe worthy baby talk.
.
.
But they’re turkeys, so as soon as I walked in the house and looked out the window? This.
.
.
So I chased them again. And that time they stayed gone for an hour… just long enough for me to put out the nightly deer snack.
.
.
While I don’t mind them coming to eat the dropped bird seed and assorted Casa River insects, they’ve figured out the buffet of deer grain, fruit and fox food is laid out at 3:00pm and this might be a problem.

River's world..... 
I understand they’re fairly intelligent, at least as birds go, although comparing them to their domesticated cousins would be damning with faint praise. Anyway it’s not surprising they’ve figured out there’s a nightly buffet.
It’s five o’clock somewhere. Have a glass of Wild Turkey.

They’re quite clever. And as I’m finding out… stubborn as well.

I think the red squirrel has been selling them information.

There is no wilder turkey than Trump, but fortunately he’s been holed up in the White House lately (though I’d love to see you chasing him away from your grain pans with a big carving knife).

I love wild turkeys, too! (And Wild Turkey. But that’s a different story.)
Drove by a flock on my way to work just last week, as a matter of fact.

Some people get their steps in by running . . . or walking around the mall . . . or strolling on the beach.
You get your steps in by doing the Turkey Trot! 😀

Ha ha! When sweet baby talk doesn’t work, the stern taskmaster comes out! “…What did I tell you? Git! Git!” I’m betting a water hose is next…

It’s put away for winter, but easily accessible.
