We really don't have much to say, but these two have gobbled gobbled gobbled their way into our hearts. Whenever we walk past them, they puff up their feathers, make their beautiful display, and sing their song to us. We reply, "We have no food for you, but we do think you are very beautiful."

Wow! They are magnificent! Our wild toms are similar, but not as showy.
ReplyDeleteMark-- They really are surprisingly beautiful. We love when they sing to us.
DeleteHandsome birds!
ReplyDeleteJohn-- That they are!
DeleteHow cool to meet up with these grand fellows on a regular basis. They really are quite beautiful!
ReplyDeletebev-- This is a little fenced in space that has had the alpacas (now in a bigger place), our favorite goat Billy (also in a bigger place), and now these fine turkeys. There are several hens as well.
DeleteThey ARE beautiful! They look huge, but I'm sure some of that bulk is feathers.
ReplyDeleteSteve-- We love watching them puff out like this. When we first approach they are not so bold, and their tail feather are not fanned. Then they show us all their feathery beauty.
DeleteWow, they are certainly showy. Say hi for me the next time you see them.
ReplyDeleteSharon-- I love that. I will definitely say hi for you!
DeleteWhen I was a kid and the turkeys did this display it was time to get out of there. If you hung around they would chase yow.
ReplyDeleteRed-- These guys are in a fenced enclosure. I think and hope we are safe. I often say to them, learn to fly away and go... go...
DeleteThey are beautiful but Red has a point. I have been turkey attacked and it is hard to know how to defend yourself. Running is best.
ReplyDeletePatti-- I sure hope these guys don't attack, but we are definitely and always on the other side of the fence from them.
DeleteCan Thanksgiving Dinner be far away?
ReplyDeleteCatalyst-- For these guys, I hope it's as far away as possible.
DeleteThey are a lovely pair! Probably recognizing another lovely pair!
ReplyDelete37paddington-- Thank you for your kind words.
DeleteBeautiful! I like their song, too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I've told this story before, but I want to tell it again. When my nephew was a tiny boy, he visited his grandparents in Gualala. One day he looked out the window and saw several wild turkeys. In delight he shouted, "Mama, there are dinosaurs outside!!!"
am-- I love this story so much. Thank you for sharing. Yes, there are dinosaurs out there!
Delete'O' Diner on the hoof. Well they are safe with me because I don't like turkey, I find it too dry. Chicken on the other hand has no chance. They are a couple of nice looking birds
ReplyDeleteBilly-- Yes, they're safe with me too. They really are quite beautiful.
DeleteThey are indeed amazing. We have lots of wild turkeys visit our house to glean the dropped seeds from the birdfeeders. We get the occasional tom, but they are nowhere as beautiful as yours.
ReplyDeleteNCmountainwoman-- It's lovely to see them all puffed and looking beautiful like this. We don't have any wild turkeys here, but I bet the toms are pretty striking as well.
DeleteWhen I saw this photo, Robin, I first though yes how beautiful this pair is to see and then, hope they won't attack. But then in reading previous comments I learned about the fenced enclosure, so you are safe to "shoot" and share.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice-- Yes, they're beautiful, and we were safe.
