I'm pretty sure the turkeys are reaching sexual maturity. How do I know?
Well, the other day I went out to feed them, and Crooked Toe (the tom) was strutting all over the place, calling and puffing up and turning blue in the face. It was really quite hysterical: he'd make these quiet sounds, then sound off:
pew-pew-pew-BLLLLLLBBBLBLBLBLBLLLLL-pew-pew-BLLLLLBLBLLLBBBBLLL
So, being the evil person I am, I started calling back to him:
Me: pew-pew-pew
Crooked Toe: BBLLLLLBBLLBLLLLLBBLLLLL!
Me, dying laughing: pew-pew-pew
Crooked Toe, puffing and turning blue: BBBLLBLLBLLLLBLLLBBBBLLLLL!!
Me, dying some more: pew-pew
Crooked Toe, horking his neck out and looking like he's about to have a stroke: BBBBLLLLBLLBLLLBLLLLBBBLLLLBLLLLL!!!
Me: *falls over laughing*
Dude, seriously. Cheap entertainment! (Get it? :P)
(Not only this, but our mornings are punctuated by Crooked Toe totally going off every 5-10 seconds for, oh, an hour and a half or so. Yes, EVERY morning. o.O)
