We have a bunch of cute birds that come to our bird feeder all the time, like cardinals, blue jays and wrens. And we like to throw our old bread out on the yard for them. But yesterday, just one hour after I threw that bread outside, I looked out there to see what birds were coming out to feed. Sometimes we get these big crows that I have Precious chase off. But yesterday? No, not crows. Turkeys. Two big ass wild turkeys were eating the shit out of that bread. Each of them easily stood 3 - 4 feet tall. We would have got the camera but they were close enough to the forest drop off point to the left of the yard I'd figure they'd be gone before we could get a pic. Hehe, Precious was freaking out inside the house because we kept looking out the window and talking. So lady went out with her so Precious could chase the turkeys and who would have thought.. One of the turkeys flew away instead of disappearing into the forest. And sure as hell, lady has now witnessed a flying turkey too. X'D And holy shit they can fly good. This turkey took off towards the garden and flew up and up and up... It cleared our tree line and kept going. That turkey cleared at least 150-200 foot trees! Next time we get turkey in the yard, I'm going to run for the camera because wild turkey are down right freakish looking when they run and fly. X'D Also, about a 1/2 hour to an hour after that I looked out the window and a friggin deer was eating the rest of the bread. Lady got some pics and a video of that one tho. I'll have to post it later.
