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.

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.

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..
