To Robin, Jen and Janie, His name was Tom, I didn't eat him - he was a pet of a farm we visited. He's 6 months old. He likes to be petted and to try to intimidate you, but if you go after him, he makes this little crying noise like a baby. And because their eyes seem to naturally tear - he looks like he's crying. BTW, we did eat turkey yesterday, but not this butterball.
I hope he wasn't your dinner. He's smiling!
ReplyDeleteAfraid to ask if s/he has a name!
ReplyDeleteFurther fear: was this your dinner?! :-)
GREAT photo, though! /gulp
Okay. I'm impressed.

ReplyDeleteIs your hair is getting longer or are your ears shrinking?
Pack: It is longer, though I'm about to rectify that. It's cheaper than having my ears moved.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, though I prefer to see turkeys that look like this stay alive.
ReplyDeleteThe turkeys Canadians usually serve on their table have white feathers.
