I found these Turkey feathers in the yard this morning, which I give to the grandkids. They get a big kick out of watching the turkeys come around our bird feeders. I also toss a few scoops full of seed in the yard for them. They made a nice backdrop for my constant carry.
We get a lot of wildlife as our 2 acres borders a 90 acre forever wild land tract. I always worry about deer ticks, since we see a lot of deer browsing on our property. We always check ourselves and the kids thoroughly after we've been outside in the lawn.
I read something interesting the other day, which makes me feel better about the whole tick thing. The average grown turkey eats about 200 ticks a day. Seems they are a large part of their diet. We'll still be vigilant, but it's good to know the Turkeys are on our side! I guess you could call it a symbiotic relationship.
I looked through our new emojis for a turkey, but didn't see one!
