Roof turkey!

Ah what a special treat for you. Hope the big guy remains ok.

That Jake is up on your roof surveying the area. Did he spend the day & night there? Can you imagine once upon a time the turkey almost became our national bird.

We have a large flock of turkeys where I work. One day last year there was a turkey right by the entrance of one of the buildings, just as bold as you please! The wildlife on campus is pretty unafraid of humans.

LOL! That is so cute! So, are you going to put food out for him?

When I was married and lived out in the country, my husband was given a turkey. One Thanksgiving morning, I looked out the kitchen window and what did I see? A Mama turkey and a bunch of babies. It wasn't long before all the babies vanished so we learned while they were small, to keep them in a box inside. Once big enough to get out of the box, we put them back outside.. Next thing you know we were over run with so many turkeys! I really enjoyed those little babies in the box!

So funny! I have turkeys and sometimes pheasants around my house. I think it is so cute when the little turkeys follow the mama in a row. I have to say though that I have never seen one on a roof. That is quite curious.

He might gobble gobble it all up

Side bar... It is very rarely a good idea to feed wild animals. If they are otherwise healthy, just enjoy them as they are.

Wild animals SHOULD be wary of people. Especially species that are hunted. If you feed them, you make them familiar with people and that rarely ends well for the animal when hunting season comes. It is better for both the animal and the people to just let them be.

We have quite a few wild turkeys out here. I think what you have is a "she" perhaps? I think the males are much prettier with the big tail feathers that you see in the pictures. The females are a bit umm..not so attractive? LOL! I usually hear the gobble gobble before I actually see them. Love that noise! Makes me laugh!

Richard's right, invite him for dinner, or as dinner, but no don't eat him. Freeze him for the New Year's dinner. Just kidding. Hope he is ok now. Wonder where he might be if he left.

[wombat2u2004]

Now I understand the Amendment about the right to bear arms.
It was written that way to protect the public against roaming drunk turkeys.

[wombat2u2004]

Wonder where he might be if he left.

Probably in the next door neighbours freezer.
I'd say the mayor's next Thanksgiving dinner will be a tad more expensive than theirs next door.

We don't shoot any turkeys here, and this guy was a young jake and wouldn't amount to much, likely in any case. There are woods and parks around, and a very large cemetery that has plenty of space, trees, ponds and shrubs.

Thank you for sharing! Loved seeing that turkey, lol.

Wild turkeys roam in certain parts of RI, but not here where I am.
