trying to imagine what a bunch of wild turkeys walking down the pavement looks like
LOVE☆STRUCK
It looks really weird and I'd never seen them before and they were SO BIG that I thought they were vultures
oath✩keeper

wild turkeys are huge :U
there were some up in the trees by the creek on my parents' property and it was very unnerving
like how did y'all get up there
╭╭(V)▽_▽(V)╮╮⛄
I already knew they can fly perfectly well
╭╭(V)▽_▽(V)╮╮⛄
but for some reason seeing it just made me Very Concerned they were gonna fall on me
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥
oh i used to work at a nature conservancy and we had a lotta baby turkies following around their mommas in the summer
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥
it was REALLY FUCKING ADORABLE seeing a bunch of lil gray fuzzballs rustling thru the grass after a big dinosaur
╭╭(V)▽_▽(V)╮╮⛄
eeee I've seen little turkeys running after the big turkeys, they are Good
╭╭(V)▽_▽(V)╮╮⛄

LOVE☆STRUCK
Omg.. I didnt see any chicks!! Mostly a few hens and maybe one gobbler bc i THINK one was bigger than the others but it may just be my memory
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥
you'll see more chicks around late spring/summer
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥
also a lot of male turkeys tend to hang out with each other in like, roving bachelor gangs. they just sort of eat and fight each other
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥
...they dont eat each other.
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥
usually you can tell if they're male if they have bright red heads but sometimes juveniles are hard to tell apart
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥
also males usually have a dangling bit of thin, wiry feathers on their front chest that's called a "beard". the longer it is, the older the turkey is
𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥
i know way too many turkey facts
