Feeding the turkeys and they thought that the mailman had food.

5. Wonder where that was taken

I have seen ducks and geese long back when I was in the US. Wild Turkeys no..very funny.

I like your comment..

6. They're very common in New England.

At my son's home in Massachusetts, they fly down from the pine trees and chase their dog in the backyard.
It's also not unusual for cars to be stopped on a roadway as they cross, and it's especially cute when their flock of chicks are following along. Add 10 minutes to springtime morning commuting!

We call them "Thanksgiving dinner on the fly".

8. Really? Very cool..

Thanks Tunsie..
How cute..I saw a peacock and a peahen a couple of times locally and hoped their compass had not gotten mangled. They aren’t migratory birds as far as I know. I know very little about birds. So I am not sure which birds this even applies to:

But noise does affect birds.

And charlatans exploit that via the reliably sleazy Facebook to distract from the real issues:

(UFO researcher it seems..I’d like to give him a UFO to shove up his..jerks like that make it far too easy for Yimbies to shut down any real complaints as conspiracy theory).

We call them "Thanksgiving dinner on the fly".

Nooooooooooooooo…poor birdies!
