Turkeys are opportunistic feeders, but this might be taking things to the extreme.

We recently received an e-mail from Linda L. Bischoff of Grand Haven, Mich., who said the local turkeys took quite a liking to her back yard in October.

“We have had quite a time lately with the turkeys visiting our bird feeder,” she wrote. “It is very funny to watch. A couple of them have figured it out, but most will fly up and not be able to get the sunflower seeds we keep in (the feeder).

It’s just amazing to watch the 13 to 17 birds that mosey through our yard. We even have a short movie we filmed with them flying up to the feeder.”

Thanks to Linda and her husband, Gary, who took these photos.
