I tried to do some painting outside since it was beautiful out. My turkeys were too inquisitive. Big guys threw my brushes all over, little guys spilled my water and seven of them attacked the rivets in my jeans. I had two of them on me at one point. I eventually ended up giving up and going in.

Turkeys? Why not!

I have never considered them as pets, but in thinking about it, it makes senses. Once you're part of the flock, hey you're in.

Thanks for the push out of the box!

They are so cute and inquisitive! They just wanted to be part of what you were doing even if they were, uh, less than helpful:D

That is a great photo of you with Turkeys. Have you seen the movie on Net flix I think it is called "my life as a turkey" or something like that.

I grew up with chickens. I loved them. Many people do not know how great these birds can be. So much personality in them.
