I just went out to start my truck at my house and I startled a group of about fifteen wild turkeys. They are huge birds that fly quite well. The temperatures are well above normal here so I imagine they are finding food that would ordinarily be covered up by snow.

Anyone else have wild turkeys in their neighborhood?

No, I don't mean a libation offered at your local tavern.

Must be quite nasty if one of them shits on your windscreen!

Fortunately, they were all out back in the garden area. 😉

I like my wild turkeys on ice with a twist of lime.

Had one in my neighbors yard yesterday and I am well within city limits.

I think I posted last year or so about the group of about 40! I saw run through my yard. I'll need to dig up the images I snapped also...

I've seen over two dozen at one time on my land. You're right they fly crazily well and HIGH. I watched the flock clear 30' trees without a problem.

We have them here too. They're real good at hiding.

They sure do a lot of walking for being so good at flying...

lol yes I read that one, but I was hoping to read an amusing story of you being attacked by a turkey when I saw you had responded to this thread

I have never been attacked by a turkey.
Parrots. Yes.
Emus. Yes.

There probably just aren't enough wild turkeys in Holland to form a gang and become a hazzard.
