Turkeys

I just saw three turkeys on my roof - no they were not my neighbors:) It was a momma turkey and two of her chicks.

How they got onto my roof I have no idea - and while the momma flew off - I thought I was going to have to get out my ladder and help the chicks down. However, those brave little guys -
after considering many alternatives (you could tell by the way they were pacing back and forth)
well - they flew off the roof into my garden.

We have pheasants around here too and they usually have many chicks. They walk up and down
my street and onto properties - the momma and at least 12 little chicks in a straight line behind her.

I love the birds around here and the deer too - except they have eaten almost all of my garden
this year. Kayote urine scares them and I used to spray that stuff all over my garden. It
kept the deer away - but it kept me away too. It is very smelly stuff.
