My Neighbours are SUCH Turkeys!

 My neighbours stopped by for something to eat, they are a bunch of turkeys... literally! One of the perks of living in the country, or at least this time of year, later on when people are trying to grow gardens or crops they become a pest, a very large pest. This time of year however it's nice to see some signs of life. The snow has been so deep this winter that most wildlife moved out of my area, some animals are returning but it's still quite deep with snow in most places, this morning the birds were here picking around the buildings trying to get food. Below you see my fields, usually at this time of year the fields would be 80% clear of snow, very far from that as you can see.

Not many places for wild animals to pick up food, a lot of animals are trying to get food along the roadsides, unfortunately I see many deer etc, have been hit by cars. I'm going to buy some grain to help until the snow starts to melt. I figure if they made it this far, a helping hand doesn't hurt. Plus humans have already made a negative impact.

I was taking pictures from upstairs so as not to spook them. Some came right to my deck. Actually turkeys are not native to this area, however because of farming, parks etc, it creates an environment that lets them thrive.

Finally, I would just like to add that the other night I was enjoying fresh made springrolls, I just needed to heat them up in the oven and savor their crispy goodness, it's what happens when you have Asian friends that worry about you. :)
