My takeaway from that is don't worry about the fucking turkey, just drink wine and have fun with your guests.

Thanks, sarge43, for this -- I needed it. Post Traumatic Orange Hitler Syndrome continues unabated.

I've got a flock of wild turkeys on the hill side behind my condo, all they do is walk across the hill side all day. I've been stopped in traffic because they are walking across a 4 lane road. They drive me bonkers.

The bigger the bird the more energy it takes to get airborne and stay there. Unlike some large birds like geese, turkeys can't go to glider mode once airborne.
