Did I ever tell you about the baby Wild Turkey I saved a few years ago?
Well, I don't know if I actually saved it, but it's possible I did.
There were 2 mamas and allllll their babies (a lot of 'em), and the mamas were starting to teach the babies how to fly. They were going from the ground to the top of the fences dividing yards one by one.
Well, there was this one li'l baby who just couldn't quite make it to the top of the fence in my yard - it was just the teensiest bit too small/weak. I could hear the others in the area behind my back fence, and I could see the li'l one trying and trying to get there, but just falling short. So, I went into the yard, opened the back gate, and gently ushered the li'l baby toward the gate. I nervous as hell one of the mamas was going to intervene, but that didn't happen, and the li'l baby got back to the group.
