It has been a long time since I enjoyed watching turkeys run enthusiastically toward me...who am I kidding...toward the food I'm holding. Today a bachelor group visited late...just like men to be late to the party. All the food had long since been eaten by the 10 deer that visit daily. So out I went to spread more for this new group.
Apparently, these were newcomers and not quite as accustomed to my motions. As I walked across the deck, they scattered. Then I shook the can of food. Well, they were not so dumb for newcomers. They knew all too well what that sound was.
Funny and satisfying at the same time. That's the sight of a 25 pound bird running. You would think flying would be faster and easier...apparently not. the sight always makes me laugh.
If you've never seen it, you should come visit...any time...they are always here and I am always feeding them. Just watch out for the poop on the deck...
