What kinds of treats do turkeys like?

[frank53061]

Feeding them treats is a great idea and works well but its seems that if you get one in your lap there will be a select few that will over others want to be given attention.
for instance here is a picture of my Daughter with the Poults.
We had 3 or 4 at a time wanting to jump up in our laps.
The first one may have to be caught and made to like it but they will.

Bread (sneaks up and whips it from my hand and then they are all off and running in a great game of snatch the bread

.
Fermented feed (am thinking of developing a turkey pair of snorkels cause I swear they would swim in it if it would help them to chow it down faster).
Johnny cakes (made of suet, pumpkin seeds and BOSS)
strawberries
they are learning to eat worms from the hens but they are not as excited about them.
popcorn!

My turkey baby's are 2 to 3 weeks old and it did not take them anytime to figure out what to do with meal worms. They come to me and take out of my hand. They run around all excited when they are eating them

Shredded zucchini . It was in the freezer and not quite "fresh" enough for human consumption, but not spoiled or bad. They flew up on my knee begging for more!

Ginger loves apples, romaine lettuce, egg white, dried mealworms (from birdseed section) and dried cranberries! All cut up into very small pieces, of course

Hello Shiny,

My birds like a variety of treats: watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, tomatoes, any fruit a little too ripe, left over breakfast oatmeal, and a few sunflowerseeds. I don't give them potatoes, onions, or garlic, I've read that that is not good for them. I usually toss it in the compost pile and they love to go dumpster diving. lol. The younger birds learn from the older ones, when I show up they usually get something tastey.

I bought some turkey food for my turkeys that come and visit me every couple of days they really didn't like it what kind of seeds can you give them that they will enjoy

If you are putting out feed for wild turkeys, they like BOSS and/or cracked corn.
