This last one is not really a feeder bird, but our old tom turkey looking through the picture window. He kept pecking at the glass as if to say, "Let me in, dammit. It's cold out here."
I tried to convince Shane that we needed an indoor turkey, and of course I would have to order an ortho turkey bed and turkey litter pan for him...", but he said no.
How rude. It's Christmas, for chrissake.

Poor Tom Turkey! Thanks for making me smile. :))
ReplyDeleteOh Tom ..... if you peck on the wrong window you might become Christmas dinner! So glad you weren't thinking that way ;)
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see the little birdies in the snow I often wonder if their feet get cold. Mine sure would!
Super shots!
Love the birdie post, that Turkey is so beautiful.....Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird pics!! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day Nancy :)
ReplyDeletehehee! My husband cringes when ever there is another 'outdoor' kitty that shows up outside our backdoor. Before I can say or do anything he heads me off at the pass with "3 is enough!" Not so sure I'd take on a Turkey - by the time it caught on with the litter pan, we would have already sized it up for a larger basting pan. Conflicting interest and all, ya know!
ReplyDeleteI want to know if you got that new kitty?
ReplyDeleteThe birds are all puffed up - it must be cold!
Beautiful birds and I love your Peeping Tom Turkey! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI had a face to face turkey encounter along a walkway on my way to the bus. I tried to be quiet and calm so it wouldn't be concerned . . BUT, it panicked, it ran in every direction - almost like a silent film comedy routine . . . I needed to catch a bus, My new acquaintance needed to feel safe . . . finally, it flew to the top of a building and upset the business owners . . . in my world, turkey encounters of a close kind are Very Uncommon . . giggle . . . your photos are magic . . thank you! Best Weekend to YOU!!! -g-
ReplyDeleteI'm with Shane- no no no on the indoor turkey! HA HA!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty and delicate birds - except for the turkey, he looks like he means business lol! Have a wonderful Christmas. :)
ReplyDeletePoor turkey. Of course, most turkeys are trying to avoid the house this time of year!

Happy Christmas and New Year Nancy . . . please never give up your stunning photography and a rural journal . . .
ReplyDeleteHahaha You make me laugh Nancy. :)
ReplyDeleteShane clearly has no feeling of Christmas if he won't let that turkey come in from the cold. Poor Tom.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I'm envious of the blue jay. I chased one around for quite a while yesterday morning but was totally unsuccessful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bird pics, your narration about the turkey had me laughing out loud! :)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for my first smile of the day.
Have a good one.
What great photos! By the way, now I know why that turkey looks grumpy! ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, that tom may be chasing his reflection away.
ReplyDeleteawww! he'd snuggle up nicely in front of the roaster, i mean, wood stove!
ReplyDeleteI love the Turkey!
ReplyDeletepeople have turkeys as pets? seriously? are you pulling my leg?! i thought there were for dinner only??! interesting. ( :
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Love Tom! That Blue Jay is beautiful.
ReplyDeletei think my birds multiply as the snow flys....great shots nancy, all through a window??
ReplyDeletewe got about 4 flakes today & just like that, it was gone!!
Awwww, ruffled up and a little chilly and so cute! Tom, on the other hand, not nearly as cute, but HE'S ALIVE and that counts for something!
ReplyDeleteLove the color contrast...and especially Tom. :) Merry Christmas, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteHmm, never considered a turkey for a pet. Not so sure how Toby would like that. Beautiful bird images and you got snow and we didn't...wah wah wah!!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up. Love the pics they are beautiful. We had a pet turkey named Tom once imagine a family of 12 hungry and poor and everyone sitting around a table on Christmas Day refusing to eat Tom true story:) Never gonna forget that one. Hug B
ReplyDeleteToo funny about the turkey! ( really can't imagine a house turkey....)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Shane on this one...NO turkeys in the house! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the third picture of the fluffy little bird!
Great shots of the beautiful birds!
ReplyDeletePoor Tom!
Wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Great photos!
ReplyDeleteYour turkey makes me cold....
Merry Christmas to you all! ♥
I do feel a little sorry for the poor cold peeping Tom Turkey, but I don't think he would get in my house either.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that first shot!
ReplyDeleteThe blue jay photo rocks. My turkeys keep looking in the window and saying the same thing. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletePretty birds! Love your Tom, too! Merry Christmas! xx
