Thanks for the warning.

I will keep my distance.

while alive! We seriously had a couple block our Jeep going into Denali Park - and they were SERIOUS about it! Just had to wait them out.

I could probably send a raven, but they're huge and mean, too.....

Wild turkeys are very territorial.

We have those in abundance.

We also have ravens.

9. Much smaller - wild turkeys are probably 3x the size.

And I've encounter those mean ass birds a few times in Alabama.
