So seriously, that after filling the feeders and scattering seed on the ground for the cardinals during a snow storm?
He repeatedly chased off the interlopers.
.
.
And threw bare handed snowballs at them to boot.
.
.
He even followed them down the hill to the woods to make sure they were gone.
.
.
Did I mention it was a little cold that day? Well, it was.
And just so you know?
This was the third of five hasty retreats the turkeys beat, only to come back and nosh happily on spilled seed when my husband gave up. (And no, I didn’t tell him.)
Turkeys – 1.
Husband – 0.

What is all that white stuff!?!?!?!?!?

Turkeys gobble up all the fallen seed that the little birds eat. They are also prolific poop machines. Eight full grown turkeys munching for a half hour? You’re ankle deep in poo.

Ah ok. So we don’t like turkey unless it’s on a plate. Got it!

I enjoy watching their goofy antics and let them nosh. The husband doesn’t…

Marines follows orders. Who is in charge: the birds or him? Hmm…something to think about. Enjoy your Sunday.

Aww. I have to say, at least from my perspective, that Husband gets the win in this situation, just for his effort.
Unrelated note: Here in Dallas, we actually have possible snow forecast for tomorrow. If even a single flake falls from the sky, there will be massive confusion and anarchy on the roads. And I have no plans to leave this house… 😉

North Carolina was like that as well. We northerners enjoyed it immensely.

I’ve been known to chase after squirrels in much the same way. And, I might add, with identical results.
