No… I have not taken up drinking. Don’t worry. Or celebrate.
But…
Imagine my surprise when I returned home from a coffee run to find this large creature in my front yard—way too close to the door of my house. I was afraid to get out of the car until it walked away… then I ran inside. Do wild turkeys attack? I didn’t want to find out.
Of course, I went back out and followed it to the back corner of my yard to take a picture. There were two smaller ones, too… but they didn’t make it into the picture…
That’s about the extent of my excitement for today.
Scary-ass giant turkey.
Seems about right.

If you want to scare them away without hurting them, place a bowl of stuffing and some cranberry sauce out in your yard. 😉

Hahaha! Great idea. And I was considering a blowhorn… why didn’t I think of your solution??

I love Rob’s solution! 😂 Anyway, we have lots of wild turkeys around – they’re very skittish and I’ve never heard of an attack. Now Canada geese on the other hand are a menace. I had one come after my dog one day in the park! And my dog is a husky mix!

Yes… He is very witty… 😃 I am a bit fearful of most creatures that get too close to me. We have had wild turkeys around before but never that close to my door. You would have laughed at me… afraid to get out of the car. LOL

Hahaha! No, I’m pretty sure they won’t attack. They piss themselves if they even hear a cricket chirp. I almost hit one crossing my driveway a few mornings ago. Came right outta the field in front of me. Not the brightest critters. 🙂

He looks pretty big to me! We have geese here that will just walk in front of your car and can’t e hurried for anything. I would’ve waited in the car, too!

I was afraid! I’m glad he moved because I thought I was going to be trapped in the car forever…

They’re fine until one decides he is a peacock. Then they get a proud and strutty and stuff.

I didn’t know what might happen. I was afraid to get out of the car. I slammed the door loudly, hoping to scare it off. That seemed to work…
