Lightning/thunder for sure.

…..and on the right day ambulance sirens, trains, donkeys, peacocks, car door slamming, car honks, gravel crunching, and finally my 10 year old daughter and her friend in the backseat of the Highlander calling out “hi turkeys!.

We have a band of hooligan turkeys roaming the streets and attacking people in our little town. My wife won't walk down the street without carrying a big stick and yesterday a woman got spurred and posted a picture of her bleeding hand on Facebook. Even dogs and cats aren't safe in their own yards. A lot of people are concerned, and the main worry is that sooner or later a small child is going to get seriously hurt. Although I did see one redheaded six-year-old girl chasing them down the street with a broom stick the other day.

We are told we can't kill them because they are a protected game bird. The city says they can't do anything because it is the responsibility of ODFW and ODFW seems to have better things to worry about. I think it's going to come to a head soon though, and some turkey birds are gunna die. And hopefully we will find out who's feeding them and chase them down the street with a broom stick.

I just saw a tom with about an 8" beard on the side of the road picking gravel. It had something that I have never seen before. Its snood was about 1" long or less and it was sticking straight out like an erection. He must have taken his Cialis this morning. I knew that the snood changed length, and color during the breeding season but I have never seen one stiff as a board like that.

Haha, yeah they can do some pretty weird things this time of year. From what I’ve seen, that shorter, stiff snood usually means he’s keyed up and on alert rather than fully strutting—kind of a different “mode.”
Turkeys are funny like that… they can look completely different bird-to-bird depending on what they’re doing at that moment.
