Its his reflection he hates! Mr. T did that with a car once!!

You might be right. I went out and looked in and you can see a translucent reflection in the window. I thought he was upset with me filming him. You can also see a person inside the window.
Still waiting for the guy to get his birds.. he is 5 minutes late, but who is counting..

Hardly have any pictures of Big Bird - she was always standing behind the boys....

She has finally stopped her "I'm lost, where are you" call, thankfully.

R2elk....impressive! What goes into selecting a breeding tom each year. Do you look for size, color, follow the SOP? Is it pedigree. Just curious.

Feisty...she's cute! Bet if you spend time with her she'd turn into a lapper!!

She is a cutey..

Well, Penguin and Ginger no longer live here. Last I saw them they were in the trunk of a car (inside a dog kennel) headed south.

Are you a little sad?? What did the guy think? Do you think he'll be a good owner? Did you give them bubble baths and blow dry them so they looked good?

Ralph - I bet you did a little happy dance seeing them drive away. I'm sure it will be more peaceful with a couple less boys!

Memphis - it's funny, Big Bird has always been curious but not a lapper. Since she got stuck in the "boy mess" yesterday, she's been pretty okay with head pats. She almost fell asleep when I was patting her head feathers today. I hope she'll be able to relax a bit now that she isn't outnumbered anymore.

All of that but also temperament. Never breed a mean turkey.

Congratulations!

I would seperate all but one tom... She is probably going to get cut from them all trying to breed at once...
