aaaah turkeys are the best. I love this.

They really are. I owned one once as a pet, and his name was Rocky. He was the best alarm system ever. :3

Thanks!!

Oh? Really? Well, long story short, we used to have a family of pheasant living on our land, but they all got shot :/
I thought about getting a turkey or two this summer, I was just wondering how tame and domesticated they can be,
but even more, what kind of specie I should get?
They seem like friendly fowls once they're tamed.

Aw, poor pheasants :(
I mean, I can't say much for the domesticated strain of turkey (the white ones), because mine was pretty much a generation or two away from wild turkeys. I guess you'd have to research a bit, but I've thought about getting turkeys too when I have a place of my own.
Otherwise, yeah, they're pretty chill birds.

I'll do my research. I know there's a few species of domesticated wild ones ( the brown ones) as well as the commercial white one that I can get at the local farmer's co-op store.
And the prices are ridiculous. Around 5$ per chicks...

Dude, whaaaaaat? Hell naw. You can get a better deal on turkey chicks elsewhere, I'm sure. That sucks tho.

I love this, I adore turkeys because they scare my younger sister. I think they are quite adorable in their own way!

They are! And evil! So much evil!

Turkeys are terrifying, I don't blame TPAM's sister. A gang of them tried to jack my car once more or less, lol. I had the misfortune to encounter them on a narrow back road in early spring, a tom and 3 hens. Two of the hens were in the middle of the road up ahead. OK, fine. Beep-beep. The 2 hens took it personally and started walking closer to the hood so I couldn't go anywhere without hitting these 30 pound birds, and if they weren't bad, the tom went completely belligerent. He walks around from the side, pecks at the grill of my car *glaring* at me the whole time, makes his way around stabbing at the driver side tire trying to rip the rubber, then the s.o.b. gets over to my window, looks right inside at me, and attacks my sideview mirror. Knocks the mirror off, I drove off backwards with it hanging by a plastic bracket because there was no getting passed them. It was quite the experience!

Ah, wild turkeys. Terrors of the roadways, I have never looked at them the same since.

Holy shit, seriously? Oh my god. Aggresive motherfuckers. Thanksgiving will never be the same, lmao. How'd the insurance company respond to the request to replace a mirror and the cause being a turkey? lmao

Some things are just worth paying the deductible, LOL. Thankfully I was fresh out of high school and my mother did most of the explaining, the repair shop still probably all thought I hit a turkey. No-no, you don't get it! The turkey hit me, really!

I mean, like most antagonistic wildlife encounters the whole thing was brought on by a new development forcing them out of the field they'd been living in and onto local streets, but. One of those once in a lifetime, couldn't make this shit up if I tried bizarre things. It felt like I was in Jurassic Park with the sucker sizing me up through the car window!

I call him Mr Snoodles

I believe that is adequate.
