That's pretty cool.In 2017 I had a turkey adopt me. That's right! I live VERY rural - no close neighbors - and one day came home to find a big turkey wandering around the place. At that time I was still working and had no livestock of any sort - no cows, chickens, nothing as far as animals on my place so I don't know why he chose my place. It was obvious he had belonged to someone because he was definitely not afraid of humans. I put out the word to all my neighbors but no one claimed him. I have a big place - a lot of acres - and outbuildings but no, he decided he wanted to be where I was. He lived on my deck; whatever room I was in he would be looking in through the window. And what an alarm clock! Well before sunup each morning the gobbling would start, and this old boy was LOUD! I wouldn't have minded having him around if he stayed away from the house - but when he took a dump it was always on my deck and it was HUGE. Finally I got a neighbor to come over, put him in a dog kennel, and take him to his place where there were other turkeys. I had to pressure wash my deck after he was gone!

The second picture is sort of ironic. A turkey posing beside a stump with a hatchet lodged in it.
