@grammargirl@zirk.us @fletchen@mindly.social likes to remind me that all the wild turkeys in our area (eastern MA) are descended from NY stock, which explains their bad attitude and their desire to create gridlock at every opportunity.

@grammargirl I have reared some turkeys in the previous years. That is a male one. How many of them do are you having?

@grammargirl there have been some wild turkeys on the grounds where I work in the past. I thought they were wonderful to see, but they did get a little aggressive with some people. They are much smarter, and agile, than people give them credit. One of my favorite work memories was watching a posse of Tom turkeys putting security through their paces as they tried to round up and evict the group. At one point, a security cruiser was in slow pursuit of half of them through the parking lot. 😂

@grammargirl how I used to love messing with the turkeys! If you puff yourself up real big and act like they do, they respond wonderfully. 🤣. Having said that, they are actually dangerous to toddlers.
