Driving up our driveway the other day we were greeted by a group of 8 turkeys that thought our birdfeeder was more enticing than the carpet of acorns in the area. I swear they were trying to figure out a way to get on one of the birdfeeder’s perches. First time a wild turkey was envious of a chickadee. With the amount of tracks around the house I am convinced their visit was premeditated. The turkeys were obviously making a statement. I think it was a slap, a comment, a critique, a slam, a Bronx cheer. An obscene gesture of contempt: a bird giving the bird. Wait until spring then we’ll see who laughs, I mean gobbles last.
