I broke down and bought a young tom from the store. My heritage birds aren't big enough for this crowd and didn't want to try and cook two.

Last night was the first night the turkey spent in the shack. It went pretty well, I did have to herd them into it though. This morning I had to also herd them out, but it was just a slow stride, no freaking out.

They are interested in me, and get to about 12' away, but if I move they'll retreat. Still no eating from my hand. They are not the easiest to get still pictures of either.

Being they are supposed to be Midget Whites, and they have the RP making, would it makes sense to call them Pygmy Palms?

Chris, just take as seat near them with your treats. They'll come to you soon enough @memphis is a pro at teaching lappers and divas

I'm staying in this year. For the last~12 years I spent Thanksgiving day with Tim and his family. I'm going to have a meal with Mary and the boys, but when they go family hopping, I'll be staying home. I'm still having a difficult time with him not being here, and just want to spend the day remembering him in peace.

At one point in the day, Mary and the boy will be going to Disney with my mom, sis and her family. They're basically getting dessert (if anyone can eat more) and everyone get a nice Christmas ornament for the tree. My mom had been doing it for about 18 years now.

I've quite enjoyed them so far. They don't instantly freak out when they see me anymore, so that's an improvement.
I've been whistling at them and it seems to perk their interests. Hopefully I'm not making mating calls.

At one point in the day, Mary and three birds will be going to Disney with my mom, sis and her family. They're basically getting dessert (if anyone can eat more) and everyone get a nice Christmas ornament for the tree. My mom had been doing it for about 18 years now.

Enjoy your day Chris and remember all the happy times.

With Nugget being broody, I've been removing her from the nest at breakfast time to eat/poop. It's the only time she is leaving the nest. Is that okay, or should I remove her for an afternoon break too? She only stays down for 10 minutes at most.

Dino says hi again.

Yesterday Jonah was walking around the driveway, and started playing with the hitch on the van. He started giggling it and made a bunch of thudding noise. He was thrilled. Dino... he was convinced the van was going to attack... He went on instant search and destroy mode.
