I would like to introduce you to
Grace! Grace is lots of fun…if she likes you.
She is a very smart turkey. She is ‘in-charge’ of her farm, the hens, Black Beauty (the dog), and Shannon.
She is the terror of the cats—Willow and Oliver.
She also is very watchful of me…even though I am sorta kinda part of the farm..she makes SURE I only do the farm things she approves of.
Let me assure you that a large turkey flying at you is rather intimidating…just ask the delivery men. (and me, (sometimes), and Willow, the cat…we all have experienced the FLYING toward you turkey experience.)
Never let anyone tell you turkeys are dumb. They aren’t and they “FOR SURE” know who belongs on the farm and who does!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda

Interesting. Didn’t know you had a turkey. Keep telling us about him/her.

Goodness! Alpha-turkey Mama. LOL!
We hear the wild turkeys from across the river. They talk to the owls. I’ve heard their conversations. It’s crazy.
Have you had feet in your hair or your shoulders?

When I was living in Texas, the building I worked in had Mockingbirds nesting in the surrounding bushes & trees. Every year, we’d get the bird warnings. You could stand in the parking lot and watch the dive bombs on people walking in & out of the building. I’ve had feet in my hair, before. 😳😆

O! A little daunting that would be. No, She would attack about knee level if she really did attack.

Um, is Grace a… how do I put this?… *permanent* member of the farm family, or will she be ‘gracing’ a table? She’s quite a substantial girl, so I see why she’s useful as a watch-turkey!

She is a pet. Likes to hang out with Shannon and guard the farm.
