"Hello, my name is Inigo Monturkey. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Gobble, gobble. Your chances of being hunted by a turkey are low, but never zero. You’ve been warned. The Wild Turkey might be the most recognizable bird in North America, so you’ll probably see it coming. Possibly at a high velocity. Turkeys can actually clock 18 miles per hour on foot and up to 50 miles per hour in flight. Inconceivable! Maybe you lost sight of the bird? Where did it go? Turkey droppings tell a bird’s sex and age. Male droppings are j-shaped; female droppings are spiral-shaped. The larger the diameter, the older the bird. Fun. 🦃
What’s this turkey up to at jewelcavenps? Tom, we’re closed! Tom!!! Inigo?!!! This turkey may just like seeing its reflection on the glass doors. Sometimes, they may respond aggressively to shiny objects, their own reflections, or those they seek revenge from. Be careful out there.
