Is it a good idea to keep turkeys around fruit trees or growing pumpkin?

[MrsNorthie]

Alot of people, even grown men, don't know how to interact with turkeys. I had a visitor kick my most FRIENDLY male turkey because the turkey got too close and he (the visitor) felt intimidated. The turkey was strutting over to say hi to new stranger, ended up getting kicked in the chest. My turkey responded with a flying kick at the man's face. Unfortunately I had to cull the turkey, even though the turkey did nothing wrong.

I am sorry that you had to do that. People do stupid things with animals, and I am afraid, I will always side with the animal.

I did a stupid thing too, by letting the turkey roam in the front yard.
