An old packing crate on the ground...

are these wild?

You wouldn't go hungry at yours then Lori?.....:))). Fancy having these in your back garden!

i've never come face to face with a turkey...apart from on the dinner table..lol

:-) Yes Sticki, they are wild birds. These poor creatures were foraging in some of the coldest weather this winter...minus 30 something with the windchill factor.
In spring and summer when they fatten up a little their feathers have the most gorgeous irridescent sheen...and they fan their tails and strut and gubble...I like them very much. I prefer to shoot them with a camera, Janey. We buy our turkey at the supermarket. In the short two years we've been here the idea of vegetarianism makes more and more sense. I hate to see animals suffer and could not raise them to slaughter. I know...I'm a daft marshmallow. =/

Minus 30?!? They must very nearly be frozen turkey!

Hi Lori.....Love the pic....I can smell the cranberry sauce....ha ha ha lol

Yes a different type of frozen turkey from the one you get at Christmas at the supermarket! ;-)

these have feathers on!!!.........and make a noise!

Gubble, Gubble!
