Today is Thanksgiving here in the United States – I thought it would be a great day to break out these pictures from the summer of a group of turkeys. Try to ignore that my plan for the day is to eat one of their relatives.
An Addendum:
After I scheduled this post, I ran into some turkeys on my way to work on Tuesday. So, here are some extra turkeys for you!

The babies are always adorable – the full-size ones, not so much.

Turkey heaven! Thank you 😊 I will give you a moment from my youngest daughter’s kindergarten play when she was 4. They did The Owl and the Pussycat and she was cast as ‘The turkey who lived on the hill’. She had no lines but the importance of marrying the oddly matched couple. So she improvised thus, performed in a sort of 4-year old salsa ‘I am a turkey, please do no eat me’ – I’m afraid I do but I always have that moment in my head as I tuck in which can make for slight indigestion 😉

That is adorable!!
And I thought you would appreciate this post today – I was so excited to get those turkeys the other day on my way to work, mostly because I knew you would appreciate them!

Happy Gobble Day! Good thing you “ran into” the turkeys figuratively, not literally.

Those things are serious – they could do some damage to a car, particularly the larger ones!

Wild turkeys! Did you hunt one of them for dinner tonight? 😉Or these are not meant for eating?

Oh, lots of people hunt them around us! They would probably taste amazing. We, however, get our turkeys at the grocery store.

Happy Thanksgiving. We have several turkeys around here too. Tippy loves chasing them when she sees them. I won’t tell them you (and I) are going to eat their relatives today.

Choppy seems to ignore them when she sees them, for the most part. They always think she is coming after them, though, and make for the nearest trees.

Leftovers are always in order for those two (if we have any!).

Turkeys are fun to watch … especially in spring when the toms strut around. Considering the size of their brain, they are pretty amazing, alert and smart birds.

I do always enjoy seeing the toms all puffed out and fancy. I keep meaning to do a Thanksgiving post on my thoughts that turkeys are North America’s peacock, which your comment reminds me of!

While they are not related, they do behave similarly, and their feathers are both iridescent!

Hope you had a safe Thanksgiving with no exchanges with more turkeys other than caloric ones. 😊

Only the caloric ones were seen and experienced, thankfully!
