Just saw him when I was working today. He came up and saw he was getting attention and started strutting right up to me.
 
That's a pretty sweet turkey there..

Damn! I cannot decide if he looks comfortable with everyone being there, or is about to run someone off.
 
“I think there may be some symbolism here." lol
 
Here's another good shot of him...

They don't normally look like that, do they?

A wild one was around a condo complex when I lived in Cambridge, MA, but it was mainly shades of brown with a little white/beige, and some black.

I don't think so. I've seen ones like you are talking about too.
 
How you know you live in redneck land... Or as I call them out here... Lednecks. Latino rednecks.

I'm out in the field a lot working on addressing issues for the most part. Some GPS work as well.

Oh okay, cool. So you're not a turkey wrangled or anything. :mrgreen:

It's amazing how much different farm turkeys look from wild turkeys.

It's called a "Royal Palm" and may be a refugee from someone who keeps them for the hell of it. Most of what you see in the wild are brown and most of the commercial breeds are white.
 
man, if he isn't the grandest tiger in the jungle.

Greetings, Lutherf. :2wave:

Beautiful bird, and it looks like it weighs more than those raised for sale to supermarkets! :thumbs:

I don't know about that. He's not much bigger than the hen behind him but he's definitely proud of himself!:lol:

If I had that plumage, I'd be strutting too! I'll bet he doesn't have a problem getting dates at mating time! :lamo
