Sorry Mr. President--but turkeys can fly...

We had a big flock land in our backyard just this week. Wild turkeys.

"Time flies, even though turkeys don't," @POTUS joked at his 7th turkey pardoning http://politi.co/1QIymTX

1. The wild ones can fly.

The domestic ones are bred to be so heavy they can't get off the ground.

6. Breeding for large breasts-the white meat--they are too heavy to fly.

8. I've read that the domestic ones aren't even capable of breeding

In a natural way.

2. I have never seen a live turkey.

Duck and geese, they flow down to pass over canada. Like them. Make lots and lots of noise.

7. I got several wild turkey a few weeks ago...smoked them

I do not eat meat except for what is caught in the 'wild'--I feel they have a fighting chance that way.

9. That sounds good. I'm deciding between prime rib and turkey for tomorrow.

I think turkey now that you said that. Even though mine did not have that fighting chance.

11. Indecisons always annoy me. So I seldom ponder--just do something

Like---too many turkeys this year (leave too much poop). So no brain-er--just get em and smoke em. Already cooked, just need to warm em up. You have a good one.

12. Yep. On my way to the store now!

3. One of the funniest moments in the history of TV

10. +1

Was one of my favorite shows.

5. Well...

I think I'm going to pop in that Thanksgiving episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati"

13. This is one breed of domesticated turkey

and they do fly some.When something gets after them they clear my house flying from the barn to the front yard.Maybe 200 yards.
