hot turkey

It's that time of year. They think they're hot stuff! The males strut around, dragging their wings on the ground, while the females ignore them! This is through the kitchen window, which has now been cleaned!!!



Hooper can be heard in the background, whining for food.

I don't think I've ever seen a live turkey!

Strutting their tails, in hope, and eating as if there is no tomorrow. Hooper, you need to meow a little louder if you want food too!!!

Do the toms fight each other?

Jenn Jilks said...

Not that I've noticed, Red. They just continually strut around!

RedPat: They are much fun to watch. Some folks, in the city, feed them and they get bold. This is not a good thing! Here, they are pretty wild and don't hang around if I go outside. But then, we're in hunting country!

Love the wild turkeys! Yes, it's definitely time for them to strut their stuff. There's a black and white one here nearby that is just stunning that I need to try to take a picture of. Have a blessed Easter!

Happy WE, Jenn!
Peace :)
