It's strange isn't it but when it comes to chickens and turkeys we always forget that they are birds and therefore capable of great flight. Hope you manage to get some photos of them in flight or in the trees to share with us Ratty as it is such a rare opportunity to see that happening!!Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-30894347686478576662014-02-02T09:40:33.496-06:002014-02-02T09:40:33.496-06:00Seems like a lot of turkeys in one place.
