    Turkeys are trashing a NASA research center in Silicon Valley, so they'e getting the boot

    Do you know if turkeys are social animals?

    Something that often worries me is they may round and break established groups of "friends" and separate them :-(

    yeah they are.

    they actually destroyed a bunch of turkeys because they were approaching people. it's because people fed them. they would also block traffic unti they were fed. turkeys are actually smart. they also can be nasty and have a pretty large spur on the back of their feet.

    i had a turkey that would defend my yard during the day because i fed him. i was wearing winter gear for heavy duty snow removal and he attacked me and scared the shit out of me. they launch right at you. i took off my mask and hood and he realized it was me and stopped.

    i think someone killed this guy. he was cool. he would fight groups of people too. other people reported that people would kick the turkeys for fun and it wasn't their fault for fighting people.

    I think youn had already mentioned this to me. Sorry for the loss.

    My neighbor has a gelding who was very protective of the herd foals. Once I was approaching one of the foals, wearing a new raincoat. I had also switched
    my deodorant brand. The gelding didn't recognize me and charged me with the intention of turning me into a stain on the floor. I said to him "It's me, you sucker!" and he stopped cold. Then he trotted close and asked me for pats :-S
