We had a yardful of turkeys every winter morning when we were in Maine. I’d go out and feed them. But I have to say, I’ve never seen multiple males together. Generally it’s all ladies or ladies and a male they let hang around :)
i had 3 cranes do this to me at the stop sign down the street…they were walking so slow…as they finally got across, the largest one, male, turned looked at me and bowed saying thank you

As #1 gets safely across #2 will stop on the centerline and #3 will head back the way they came. ( My experience on US#23 in Algoma County, Michigan!)

This could be a lead on for juicy breasts and drumsticks, plus some really great buffalo wings.

Leisurely strutting indeed! After I stopped for them, one decided to charge the car. As I had the top down, I beat a hasty retreat in reverse.

Them turkeys can RUN if they have to; and they run almost as fast as they fly! For a big bird, they are VERY aerobatic!

Without beards, they’re all hen turkeys.

I give them a toot on the horn and they scatter tight away.

Around here it’s Sandhill Cranes. They’re quite big and rather fearless.

The turkeys know about the Gumbos family, alright.

Thanksgiving; Christmas; random smoked turkey just because you’re in the mood.

I once saw a herd of turkeys post road guards—2 walked out into the road and faced oncoming traffic in each lane while the others passed between them.

In my neighborhood it is Sandhill Cranes.

Can’t expect too much, from something with a brain the size of a pistachio nut.

Around here it’s the Canada Geese.
And “here” is the Beautiful and Damp South Carolina Low Country!
