...Fuat Gencal - How does one say turkey in Turkish?<br /><br />Wil -- Turkish, I believe.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />We have more turkeys that are skittish -- these hen are the boldest.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-43891325052626357782010-07-28T06:20:57.414-04:002010-07-28T06:20:57.414-04:00They really have grown, and what fun to see them t...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.Pat in east TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654095647835294718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-59214817123028277942010-07-28T05:43:28.174-04:002010-07-28T05:43:28.174-04:00Canny creatures, aren't they?
