We started to notice last month that the snow and mulch under the bird feeder was all displaced. We couldn't quite figure out who was making the mess. Then one afternoon we saw a wild turkey helping herself to the dropped birdseed from the feeder. The first few days the dogs barked in protest, but as her visits became more frequent, Piper would ever so calmly just sit and watch her from the door.
A few days ago she showed up as normal in the afternoon, but this time had brought with her 2 friends! I figured that this wasn't a good thing to allow 3 turkeys to scratch my frozen mulch, so I let Izzy and Piper outside. They didn't even get out the door before the turkeys had flown off into the woods. Needless to say, neither our resident turkey, nor her friends have returned.
