Yavrular kocaman olmuşlar. Paylaşım için teşekkürler.
Saygılar.
What language is the first comment?
Wonderful to have so many wild turkeys!
Thanks for your visit!
Great photos! I hope they all grow up to have long, healthy, happy turkey lives. We used to have wild turkeys up here, but I haven't seen, or heard, any in about 15 years. Even when they were here, they were extremely difficult to spot.
Canny creatures, aren't they? Do they get any help to grow 'like one thing', or do they feed on what they can find?
They really have grown, and what fun to see them to close ... any turkey's I've encountered, usually in or along the woods, are very skittish and usually break into a 'run' and become very vocal.
Fuat Gencal - How does one say turkey in Turkish?
Wil -- Turkish, I believe.
There were wild turkeys in Florida, Victoria, but they were extremely wary and almost never seen. I can only assume that these birds are so calm because there's not as much hunting these days.
Sometimes I throw out some extra sunflower seed or cracked corn around the bird feeder but really there's plenty of food available in the wild.
We have more turkeys that are skittish -- these hen are the boldest.
I just found an online Turkish translator. The first comment said (more or less):
Children have become huge. For thankings. (Saygilar).
cool. i saw some wild turkeys the other day...a bit sad for those lost along the way...but so cute..smiles.
Just adorable. You must keep us posted!
They have grown so big!
We often look out to see turkeys in the orchard but they don't stick aound for a photo op.
We don't have wild turkeys here which is a real pity because they look rather wonderful. I do hope you continue to update their growth!
Vicki -- Love to see wild turkeys with the young ones. -- barbara
I'm charmed by this..don't forget, I'm a city girl!
Dear Vicki: We have the gobblers around here too and they are wary of any movement. They all move in a synchronized way; not sure how they do that! Hardly see any Tom's. I guess the poor old Tom's are always the first to go come spring Turkey Hunt. If you get to see a Tom let me know! Where oh where are all the Toms?
dont they look like little dinosaurs?
my turkeys are now full grown and they were hatched only a few months ago!
nice blog
I haven't heard "like one thing" since I was a child in Watauga County. No one here seems to use that great phrase.
They do indeed grow up fast. Now, if you can just lure one of them into the chicken yard in November...
They have really grown!!
Brian -- But, in the way of things, that's why these mamas produce large broods. And a turkey poult probably made some foxes night!
Julienne - but you have kangaroos! And all those other nifty weird creatures!
Lyn -- so I can tell my agent to stop using her urban background as an excuse!
Chiccoreal -We see and/or hear the gobblers at a distance but they seem shyer than these hens. We had a few jakes (young males) near the house not long ago.
Welcome, John G.-- Oh yes they do! (Cue Jurassic Park theme music!)
Mountainwoman --It's mainly the older folks I hear saying that -- by which I mean REALLY old -- older than me.
