...I love the turkeys, they are so difficult to photograph.

Michele Morin said...

The turkey population is on the move here as well!

Those big old wild turkeys seem to thrive everywhere!

Birgitta said...

Wow! Great photo of wild Turkeys!

Jill Harrison said...

I have birds this week too, but of a different feather! Stay safe and enjoy your week. I believe NZ and OZ are opening up a travel bubble. Don't think I am confident enough to fly anywhere just yet.

Dear Betty,
this weeks my photos don't show "my" corner of the world but a wonderful place I was able to visit 1,5 years ago. ♥
Thank you very much for the linkparty.
Regards
Anni

How unusual we both had shots of wild turkeys today. I like yours better.

So cool! I always love coming across a gaggle of wild turkeys when I am trail running in the woods.

Amy said...

We have turkeys just about everywhere in NZ.

Sharon Wagner said...

Turkeys! They could be in Minnesota. Nice.

Heidi R. said...

Wild turkeys, I'm amazed at what there is in New Zealand?

That's a lot of turkeys!

Wild turkeys! My friend's mother kept turkeys in their compound many years ago. Whenever I visited my friend's house, I like to disturb the turkeys by making some funny sound and they will automatically respond in their unique turkey sound.

I have never seen wild turkeys and it seems to me that they do not differ from the domestic ones. The question is: can they be eaten? Is it allowed to catch them?

Have a fine day, Betty!

NatureFootstep said...

nice shot. We don´t have wild ones so I don´t know how they behave if I should ever meet one. I would probably take a few shots :)

italiafinlandia said...

They are part of my childhood with my grandparents...

Hazel said...

Interesting birds. We used to have turkeys, very briefly but I remember their sound. They can be noisy but fun.

Amy Johnson said...

Such a flock of wild turkeys! We just got back from the Smokey Mountains and I couldn't believe how many wild turkeys were in that park! They seemed totally unafraid of humans too.

Melbourne Australia Photos said...

I do believe they are referred to as "a rafter of turkeys"! Nice shot, Betty! :-)

My Desktop Daily said...

PS: Thank you for hosting, Betty!

Lea said...

Amazing to see them in New Zealand!
Hope you are having a great week!

Sherrie said...

Hi,
Here in Northeast Indiana, one of our state parks released
wild turkeys. Once in a while you get a glimpse of them.
Have a great day!

Turkeys here are in full courtship mode with different males trying to outdo each other.

Diana said...

Wow! It's funny!
The (domestic) turkey is, somehow, like a dog: it announces aloud a stranger who is at the gate. 😊

Suzana said...

What a nice 'team'! I like their sounds! :)
Never seen so many together. Not even at zoo.

Happy WW!

kwarkito said...

Wild turkeys are better than cold turkey ! I like this picture. I wish i could be in your country where there is no more lockdown and great rugby matches...

csuhpat1 said...

Such beautiful and peaceful photo. Love the Turkeys. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.

Linda said...

We have them in Virginia too!

Schwabenfrau said...

Wild Turkeys, that's a nice picture.
I know her too and her calling is sometimes really annoying
Kaud, cud, cud.
We also call it Kauder.
Greetings Eva

nicht in Freiheit. Danke fürs Teilen.
