I was on one of my digital scrapping sites messaging how cool it was that she had kangaroos to photograph. She said the were everywhere, I equated it to wild turkeys here. Sure enough when I was out this morning I saw turkey. Glad I did because the rest of the ride was a wash due to heavy traffic.
I've often wondered Joan, as we only have turkeys bred for the table... are your wild ones hunted and are they the same flavour as farmed ones or more gamey?
we have bush turkeys, the aboriginal name for them is kyogle. they are not as big as your wild ones and build huge mounds as nests. this is a lovely capture
I loved your caption because I saw the picture and thought, "Turkey's!!" Then I read you see them everywhere! Turkeys for you, Kangaroos for our Aussie friends, and I get squirrels and ducks...but you probably do, too!
@vignouse There is now a hunting period. I do not care for game myself so I have never tasted, But I have heard they are leaner, gamet and tougher than bred turkeys.
@Weezilou Have several squirrels in the neighborhood. And ducks in the ponds especially in warmer weather. Years ago I saw a moose twice in our neighborhood.
@joansmor Thank you Joan, i'm sure they do look plumper (if that's a word) but in the right places.. farm bred ones are fed foodstuffs to, intentionally, put on bulk and just like us overfeeding leads to excessive body mass without proper shape.. i prefer the 'proper' ones... lol
