Why did these turkeys cross the road? Because one very gentlemanly tom turkey stopped traffic in both directions on a snowy New Hampshire road to make it safe for an entire hen party to pass. The gracious gobbler was captured on camera by a quick-thinking motorist who realized that he wasn’t going anywhere for a while. (via Phred’s Mom)
I will love her, and sniff her, and lick her, and call her “Giblet.”
Happy Thanksgiving, Lois M. (PS: I’m thankful to T. O. for the nice tip. Thank you!)
Here are some turkey chicks that have something to be thankful for. They’re wild turkeys, so they won’t end up on anyone’s plate today.
But why flap your wings, you silly things? Everyone knows turkeys can’t fly!
Well, what do you know? They can fly! Not very well, according to this article in the Washington Post, but well enough to get away from predators — and paparazzi:
