Social turkeys

I completed the metadata mostly to share something. While I do like the domestic turkey as food, I'm also charmed by some of the wild turkeys in my area. There's one that lives somewhere behind the library, and occasionally struts out to inspect, and sometimes even socialize, with people in the parking lot. Another spends much time on the commercial fishing period and is said to act like a dog that owns it. --Howard C. Berkowitz 03:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I've heard the Franklin thing, and even read his arguments, although I can't give you a reference. It's an honor to socialize with a wild one, but the domestic ones are incredibly stupid. Probably just as well for poultry. Howard C. Berkowitz 03:42, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
