Its bizarre. What were these turkeys doing in the middle of a city? Or are they wild turkeys?
Yes they're wild and it is mating season. They are young Toms.
Ah! We don't get wild turkey in the UK.
To answer any questions about what Craig means:Not even in a bottle?
I wonder if the turkeys had a decent defense attorney?In a related story, the turkeys were sentenced to death for the assault, and were served for dinner later that evening.

The easy way to catch any chook (irrespective of sex) is to wait until a couple of hours after they have roosted and simply remove him from the perch. Sadly for males at least, this method is less effective first thing in the morning. The key is that it must be dark. Chooks will sleep through a lot, so everything that needs to be done, is done at night. But I don't tolerate roosters that attack humans. Any aggression towards humans is dealt with quickly I'm afraid. I wouldn't accept out from a dog, or cat so I won't accept it from a rooster (or hen for tthat matter). The one I have now is a gorgeous gold laced Wyandotte that I hand raised. He'll feed from my hand and let me pick him up. He's my cockerel (won't be a rooster until three new year when he's 1) because despite not being the most gorgeous, he's the most friendly.. I'm afraid he's scheduled to be posted as Coq au Vin someday in the near future. I just have to get a good net available and a compatriot to help me. Yesterday I saw him pulling feathers off of one of his ladies - so yeah, sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
