      Sort of lol. The story stems from his writing a letter to a cousin, I think, where it was mostly in jest about how the Bald Eagle is a thief, and a turkey would fight anything (because they are fucking stupid. I’ve seen Tom’s peck and kick at their own reflection in a Ford Explorer door).

        They are also rather graceful.

        But, I say turkey because, like. Have you ever seen them jumping to get at apples/crab apples?

        It’s freaking amazing.

          We live in an area where we have huge groups of turkeys come through our yard. Our dog spotted them and barked, sending 30 of them into the trees around us, which was something I’ll never forget, lol.

          Also, the babies are super cute to see running around.

            I should note… Bald Eagle’s aren’t all bad…

            Though I will say if it was a turkey on the perch… Trump would have been wearing several maxipads the next day.
