Gobble

There were 46 wild turkeys in our back yard this morning. Nine of them were as we call them "puffers", the male turkeys that puff up to impress the ladies. This is something you don't see often. I grew up in the country, and I never saw a wild turkey-- much less a puffer--until I moved to the 'burbs.
Those turkeys make me think of men on the beach, when they suck it in and throw out their chest to impress. But turkeys don't wear speedos...oh wait...

What you really have in your backyard is one big turkey hippie commune. Think about it - all those turkeys, wandering around, eating food from whoever has something sitting out - just like a bunch of hippies! Be on the lookout for those few who seem to be stumbing as they try to make their way across the lawn...and they seem to smell different from the others...
