I wish my turkeys were that assertive about the chipmunks. Yesterday I found my four standing around watching two chipmunks who were seated in the turkey's food dish, stuffing their cheeks with turkey food. Between what the turkeys spill everywhere and what the chipmunks eat, I wonder how much actually goes into the turkeys!Thank you! I say the same thing. They are ruthless!! And they do work as a group. They know when an animal DOES NOT belong in the yard. They know who lives there and who doesn't. I don't know how they can recognize a "new bird" or animal but they can. I don't know how they do it. When one of them makes a distress call, you better believe the rest of them will be running around the corner within 3 seconds flat. I will have to try to video tape them and post it. It is hilarious!!
