Well, that was a first...

Just walked into my office, opened the curtains and discovered two wild turkeys getting laid in my driveway. :rolleyes: It took me a moment to figure out what the hell was going on - they had their backs to me, and the tom had his wings lowered to the ground, concealing the hen. The only thing I could see was a second tail protruding beneath his as he lurched around the driveway. :laugh::laugh:

Dang, wild turkeys won't usually come so close to a person's home. That reminds me of the time a couple of deer wandered up into our yard. We very quietly moved out to the front deck and watched them until they caught wind of us and ran away. They couldn't have been more than 30 meters away. Doesn't really have a whole lot to do with turkey sex but it's probably one of the most interesting encounters with wild animals that I've had. Brad Jennings Sonork: 100.36360 AIM: hongg99

<irony> That's a scandal, let's write to your representative to ask to make a law to condemn such amoral actions. Our children don't have to be exposed to such crude acts! </irony>

I guess I'll have to post more of my pics. My wife and I own a bit of property in the Sierra, and it's become a sort of little wildlife refuge. We have a bunch of deer and wild turkeys (and foxes, rabbits, quail, and just about enything else that crawls, hops, flies or slithers) that are pretty regular visitors - we put out seed for the birds, and crushed corn for the deer, every couple of days. Not a lot, but enough to be a little treat for them. This has been going on for years, through several generations of critters, and they've gotten to trust us to what I guess is a pretty extraordinary degree. There's always something hanging around. It's pretty cool - nothing like looking out the kitchen window to find a big buck sacked out in the yard, watching you through the window as you make your morning coffee. :-D

I was wondering when someone would bning that up. Yup, thank god the local puritans didn't hear about it. They'd probably want to impose a five second delay on the view out my window. :-D

:laugh::laugh::laugh: I'm just thinking about it... was the relationship heterosexual? If not, it could worsen the case :wtf::rolleyes:
Freedom? ....yeah right!

Ummm... my wife is my German translator, and she's out of town. I don't suppose you'd do me a favor and supply an English version, would you? :-D
I guess it would loose everything if I translate it a turkey sits in the forest and looks at me madly this doesn't matter to me because I'm sleeping specifically, I'm sleeping on his hen. [edit]An "Auerhahn" is not a turkey, but, well...[/edit]

We have 10 hens and 3 roosters, so the sight of shagging birds is hardly a rare one at my place. Do turkeys do it the same way ? ( i.e. a rooster grabs the hen by the comb and pulls it back hard while mating, I don't think that the hen enjoys it much, they sure run from the roosters ).

Are turkeys accepted as scholars in US public schools? There are still public schools in the US, right? ;P

I grew up in a wooded area, about 10 miles from any populated area, so I've always enjoyed pretty much anything to do with wildlife. My parent put bird seed out and stuff for the smaller animals like squirrels and chipmunks so we always had wild animals around. Living in the city now, I kindof miss the wildlife.
