Man you guys were scaring me...couldn't figure where pics of our turkeys entered the thread 'til I went back and re-read it...those turk pics were taken during their mating season, ours look like yours, too, unless the tail is up or you look for beards...here is a pic I took day before yesterday of them trying to figure out how to get in the area where we are feeding the wild birds...I know it's goofy after looking at all the different bird pictures but I love our turks and think they are gorgeous...Bob & I call them "the Boys".....one morning about 6am I was still sleeping in bed with our male Boston Terrier dog who is as excitable and "birdy" as a hunting dog....Bob had went down the driveway to get the paper and started carrying on a conversation with three turks coming up the hill toward our deck...he would call to them, they would call back...went on all the way back to the house, so he comes into bedroom, slides sliding glass door open about 2ft and says to me "listen to this" and makes the turkey call to have me hear them answering him. Gus, the dog, hears it out of his sleep, flys off the bed, hits the screen which of course was closed, knocks it off the door + bends it, Bob has a laughing fit that ends up with him practically passing out and I just lay in bed amongst all the chaos and think to myself.....that's what happens when one turkey in the house talks to other turkeys outside.....Bob had to fix the screen......
