Safferz Posted April 24, 2013 I wanted to introduce you all to the two turkeys who live on my street, I've named them Thing 1 and Thing 2. I believe they're a couple because they're usually together or never too far apart. I like them because like me, they give no f*cks whatsoever. We've also been through a lot together now as neighbours for the last 9 months, and I've taken to photographing them on my cell whenever I see them around. Fall 2012 After Hurricane Sandy: After they survived Thanksgiving: After the blizzard/Snowmageddon: And after the Boston bombing, clearly not giving a f*ck (I was concerned when I couldn't find them, and then I looked up): Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Safferz Posted April 24, 2013 Ah, never heard the word before, thanks. I didn't know the word for baby turkey either until I just looked it up, apparently they're called "poults" But no, I haven't seen them... I'm sure they wouldn't be as friendly if they had their young around, wild turkeys are known to attack people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

underdog Posted April 24, 2013 You should create a parody twitter account and name them "The Boston Turks". http://whatculture.com/humour/10-animal-accounts-you-should-follow-on-twitter.php Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElPunto Posted April 26, 2013 ^Surely humanitarian instincts would trump concern about these turkeys! I did notice you didn't photograph the little presents these birds leave behind everywhere(Pro-Turkey bias much). We had the same issue but they got moved - there is only so much toleration after Very Important People got their shiny loafers soiled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly my urban turkeys are more cultured and refined than your wild turkeys were, because I have had no such issue Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
