   Sorry, couldn’t resist throwing in those favourite lines… though they are not much in character with my normal, optimistic self!

   Njoy your day!

   Don’t stuff yourselves, that would be counterproductive.

   Even the skinny turkeys get the axe for Thanksgiving.

   The in-bred white turkeys raised in mass production are the ones which are usually stupid and they can drown themselves by drinking water dripping off a roof during rain.

   Margureritem is correct about game turkeys in the wild.

   During the summer of 1959, I worked for several days on a turkey farm. The owner of the farm had an outside job; but, I helped his wife and man vaccinate turkey poults when they were moved from above ground cages to large pens.

   Sometime after that, my older brother and I went there and we cleaned out one of the large houses where the mature turkeys had been. I still have a scar where I jabbed one of my fingers with a wire that was sticking out on one of the sections of the mesh floor on which the feeders had been put.

   One summer our suburb gained 2 pairs of turkey who hung our in our street. I could follow them with out scaring the birds.
   We could have had a nice dinner - but they moved away!

    One summer, years ago, another guy and I had to work on some phone lines at a house out in the country, and the people had a “guard turkey”. Seriously, a very big, very mean tom that did NOT like strangers. The couple who owned the place had two small children, and the kids had to stay between us and the turkey while we worked. They had no pen for it - just let it roam around the house. You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen a very large and angry attack turkey coming at you - we couldn’t even get out of the truck at first. Funny now, but not then.

    Probably worse than an attack turkey is an attack goose. Those male geese don’t take kindly to strngers.

    Turkeys may be stupid, but they sure are delicious.

    if he loses enough weight, he might go out as a cornish game hen or turkey in this case..
