Watch out for Wild Turkeys going wild in western Michigan! It seems that they have taken to crashing through windows and windshields. Though, as the news report points out, it is likely just because it is their breeding season and the hormones are getting to them… a.

There is a flock of Wild Turkeys that strut around like they own the place and they might very well be right. After all, there is no hunting and while I watched the turkeys they routed a feral cat that dared come near the flock of twelve which consisted of two tom turkeys and ten hens.

We at 10,000 Birds have mentioned before the unpopularity of the Wild Turkeys of Staten Island. Police are looking for a driver who apparently intentionally drove into a flock of turkeys in Dongan Hills, Staten Island, on Monday. Sadly, it seems that someone has taken the hatred to a whole new level. The poor little poults?

I had spotted a Turkey Vulture ! Well, I had looked out the sliding glass door that leads to my balcony and spotted a large bird that seemed to have the flight pattern of a Turkey Vulture but I needed to drop the darned phone and grab the binoculars that live near the door for exactly this purpose. What had happened?

Rather than go into great detail about a variety of vultures as we have in the past, I tracked down five great quotes about Turkey Vultures , or, at least, five quotes that are either about Turkey Vultures or generically about vultures.

When Freshpet reached out to us about their new turkey bacon we couldn’t help but say yes. Turkey bacon? What’s turkey bacon? After looking at the ingredient list I felt great about giving our Baby the turkey bacon. Sadly I noticed that our local grocery store doesn’t have the turkey bacon in stock yet.

My Laurelito trip was topped off by my discovery, when I walked back to my car, that it had been turned into a turkey perch. A group of exceedingly tame domestic turkeys had gathered near it, and two had decided it looked like a great roosting site. ” These guys would have let me pet them, had I been so inclined.

The male brought her food which I saw her eating. Also, he defended their territory. On the days before hatching, the male appeared to be bringing more food to the nest.

I have to admit, that I too have been lulled by the very same vultures, as on any given day here in La Paz, I can see 50 or more Turkey Vultures soaring over head.
