You'd be surprised. Wild turkeys roost in trees at night, I don't know how they stay upright sometimes.

Wild turkeys are such fun birds to have in the neighborhood. Their roosting habits are goofy, their clicks and clucks are fun to overhear, and the males are ridiculously aggressive dicks.

Thanks all :pint:



Blue - chickens can perch on anything, and not fall. She wanted to put them on a branch but I don't have any large trees in my yard. They usually perch on the back of chairs, or the dog kennel etc. Basically anywhere high. So we just decided to make it a generic perch.

:lol: I was walking our dogs on our property last week and there was a flock roosting in the trees out back. When the first one took off it scared the fudge out of me because I had no idea they were there and because they have such an uncoordinated launch.It sounded like a person tumbling out of the tree at first.
I'm not someone else.

Ha ha! I've seen the exact same thing. Turkeys are about as aerodynamic and graceful in the trees as bowling balls. I laugh nearly every time I spot them.

This is a portrait of two chickens that I own, and she truly captured them. Even her initial sketch for composition is good!
Very nice Luke! Congrats! :clap:

Too funny, my wife was trying as well. I wonder how many of us got our partners up early on a Sunday morning to help out.
