the songbirds in the feeders. Unlike the crew in the video, our turkeys are woosies. If I take seeds out specifically to throw on the ground for them, they take off. It's kind of funny when they all suddenly take flight. I've never understood it, but I always figured it was better that they're afraid of humans if they want to survive. Pretty soon the males will be putting on their yearly spring show and strutting their stuff for the ladies. Then, in early summer and beyond the little ones show up. I've always loved living in a rural area and watching the wildlife.
