This is Tom. He is (Or was) a wild turkey that had a harem of three hens. When I lived in Nevada, I lived along the Carson River in a spot that actually had trees. We had feral peacocks, and peahens and turkeys and all kinds of wild thangs. Tom would wander over to the neighboring pasture, so of course I would gobble at him and he would puff up his feathers and strut. It got to the point that everymorning at 8:00 he would come over and peck on the wall under my bedroom window until I looked out and went GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE at him. He was so much fun. The neighbors all protected him and his brood. We fed him peanuts. One day he actually stopped traffic on the road when a strange car appeared. He was prolly too tough to eat anyway.
