A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

The photo is in black and white which makes them look like slates but they don't have any black spots on them so they are definitely not Blue Slates. Whether or not they are Self Blues (Lavenders) is debatable but no provable.

That was my thought too.

They could just be some Mutt turkeys too from some farm, I wonder how many people back then cared about pure lines or types.

May the bird of happiness fly up your nose!

Merry Christmas! It's the day after here and I feel much more human after a full night of sleep.

I love the harnessed turkey picture... pretty sure that none of mine would go for that!

Feedman - you are going to have tons of quail.... can't wait to see baby pics

Ralph - I just about spit out my drink reading your "bird of paradise" comment

Memphis - Travel safe when you head home, your girls will be glad to see you when you (they'll be missing their hugs). I'll post a picture soon - I'll see what I can find for birds here.... I can hear all kinds of interesting bird noise so there must be something fun that I can post!

1965, May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up your Nose by Little Jimmy Dickens.

Per Wikipedia:

"The song, written by Neal Merritt, was inspired by one of the many comic putdowns uttered by host Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show."

I remembered it as an Earnest Tubbs song,,


The other thing I notice,,,is a lot of you are really really old!!!

I have no idea if all my turkeys are inside or not tonight, nor do I care.

It is driving sleetly rain 40moph winds slippery ice coating the ground. If they are so dumb as to stay out tonight they deserve to remove themselves from the gene pool!

I still kind of miss Johnney Carson. I hate your getting ice Ralphi. Thats the worst.

Fiesty! Having fun yet?? Find any turkeys yet? Did Big Bird enjoy the flight?
