It's time to properly introduce Thomas (right) & Theodore (left). They are Wild Turkeys Iand have been coming to WTS for about 10 months. Once last summer they brought 2 females, but they never brought them back. Over the winter they'll sometimes turn up with a whole rafter of turkeys. Very often they com ewith 2 other males. Though T&T are looking more mature as their faces get redder, these other males appear to be a bit more mature as they have the floppy snord, or whatever it is called, that hangs over their beak. Sometimes these strangers are a bit mean to T&T. At that point I go out and toss some seed and they all run away, but then T&T turn and run back to me, as seen in this picture! So cute! Today ther snow was up to their thighs. I don't know how the heck they find food in the winter, though they are very good scratching the ground for food! You can tell who is who by the different shape of hteir beards. Thomas' is almost a diamond shape. Theo's is really long and curves to the right. Theo often stands on his. Such a weird thing, a turkey beard!
