Maybe it's time to change the name of the blog to "Turkey Wars". When we first started getting turkeys in the backyard we thought it was pretty neat. First year all winter we had 3 visiting us. The tom and two hens.

Second year we had 13 and those young ones sure were cute!
Last year we had 25. However, over the winter you enjoy seeing them coming. We would gleefully count heads as they hobble gobbled on by. The tom would fluff himself up and as it got nearer to mating season he'd put on all sorts of displays. It was a sight to see.

But something happens in the summer when you know pickings are easy for them and your yard fills up with turkey doo. Twenty five turkeys can leave alot of doo too. Bill has been complained about stepping into it when he mows.

But what can you do? You set up your back yard to attract wildlife, but you can't choose what animals are allowed. At least that is what I keep telling Bill.
