    Does anyone else live near wild turkeys? I find their constant evening gobbling absolutely delightful.

        @avantgame Had wild Gould turkeys in the neighborhood when I lived in Az. Kids loved it when I did turkey calls and the turkey's responded.

        @avantgame there is a rafter of turkeys on one of my regular bike routes. One of them charged at me as I rode by this past weekend!

        @avantgame I used to work at an outdoor Shakespeare theater. (@calshakes) Sometimes they'd chime in during our plays. Always made me laugh.

        @avantgame That does sound delightful. In Minneapolis they stalk the freeways. Adds an element of turkey terror to my commute.

        @avantgame my great grandmother would sit with me and toss bread and corn to our local (flock?) of wild turkeys. There was much gobbling.

        @avantgame I've just moved to Australia and they have bush turkeys everywhere. No delightful evening gobbling though. #turkeyenvy
