Two bird things

[conuly]

First is not really a bird thing. I was washing out the birdbath when all of a sudden I was reminded, for no apparent reason, of the punchline to a joke I must have heard 20+ years ago. Not even the joke itself, which I had to reconstruct - just the terrible punchline. And here it is:

"Oh no! It's Buffet, the vampire slayer!"

You're welcome.

Secondly, I happened to just now glance out the window and what do you think I saw? Seven turkeys! I'm not sure I can be held responsible for this. They're turkeys. If they walk around like they own the place it's because they pretty much do. They go in lots of yards, they've been in this neighborhood forever, it's not the birdseed.

...yes, I will keep telling myself that.

Were there a lot of garlic dishes in that buffet?

I think he got impaled by a baby carrot.

yeah, turkeys are never your fault!
unless you've roasted a nice one, and want praise. then you can count it as your doing

lol Weird.

Turkeys are kind of cool. Do they cause trouble there?

[conuly]

Turkeys cause trouble everywhere and can be extremely territorial during the nesting season.

Huh. I've only encountered them while I stabled my horse at a ranch. They were great because they helped keep the rattlesnakes away.

A decade or so ago we went to a extremely rural area up here with our very young dog for a hike, there's a waterfall up there and it's quite pretty. Unimproved road in and out, that sort of thing. Leaving, a flock of wild turkeys crossed the road, probably more than a couple dozen. It was quite a site and the dog was extremely happy to converse about it.
