Am I a dork? I stopped to film this Turkey crossing the road, and I laugh so much when I rewatch because I feel like he’s “off to never-never land” and walking to the beat of the song I happened to be listening in my car at the time. #animals #turkeysofmastodon #silly #metallica

#3GoodThings and then some.
Got my GST return filed.
Got his'n'hers perches in the turkey house. Bonus - some diagonals in the side walls.
Bit of string to let me let the turkeys out at dawn without getting out of bed.
Star is very happy with this.

Rain stopped play on the new turkey coop today, unfortunately in a state where it functions as an escape ladder for Roz.

Silver linings from the collapse of the old turkey house last night:
1. It was expected, and the turkeys were in the shed instead.
2. I no longer have to worry about trying to pre-fabricate the new house and can just build it in situ.

Standoff at the back porch.
Star the murder-turkey and his non-victims.
Not sure if they're too big (he usually just kills sparrows) or they're not eating his food, or that he knows we're watching him.

@otterlove @loren I also think they're dinosaurs. Mine are mostly grown now! They're so fun to watch.

Also, you can see her third eyelid or nictitating membrane closes to protect her eyes every time she strikes the camera.
As the turkeys grow, they develop a wicked curve to their beaks, but you can see some of the layering looking close which makes you want to envision them like a seashell growing layers on the outside edge when it's really the other way around, growing from the base like your fingernails.
The chaos gremlins' antics have reached new heights.
Is the turkey philosophizing "when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you"?
Or is it just thinking "Mine!" like the seagulls in Finding Nemo and wanting to eat the camera?
Whatcha doin?
Currently have a house turkey. Injured youngster needed a place to rest. Seems to be improving.
Scared the new little hatchlings. Think they thought a kaiju had come for them. Adjusted quickly though and found them climbing on and pecking at the patient older sibling the next morning.

The squirrels were putting on a show, but nothing brings the family together like birdwatching.
These cats are kind of shallow, though, and judge birds on size: the bigger the bird, the more interesting. A poor chickadee or titmouse is below notice, but they get a bit excited for mourning doves and blue jays.
So this was the most fascinating thing they've ever seen. 
Happy #ThirstyTurkeyThursday to all who celebrate!
(featuring two bonus ducks)

Today I gave our #turkeys and #ducks a solar-powered shower (as I needed to move the last remaining rainwater across the garden anyway).
I hope you enjoy the clip as much as they enjoyed the water!
Also, they will be absolutely delighted about anyone who is so kind to mark any pictures of their deceased brethren as sensitive and/or tag them as #food, #meat or #thanksgiving, so they can filter out any upsetting posts from their human's feed!
