Turkey perched on Balcony

This turkey flew up on the railing after watching a squirrel eat from a peanut feeder. I thought he was going to hop onto the balcony and eat from the dish but he didn’t. Maybe he couldn’t see the squirrel eating.

Cool capture Soul_adventurist, that turkey got tired of waiting for a snack.

Do you think the turkey was wondering what the squirrel was eating from the dish ? Very cool to see a turkey up close like that !

[@soul_adventurist]

Yes. I usually take a small container of bird seeds with me when I take the dogs for a walk out back. While they’re doing their roaming around the yard, I spread the seeds. The turkeys are usually in the yard within a few minutes after we get back inside. They are very intelligent survivalists with keen eyesight. The squirrel was on the corner of the railing in plain sight of the turkey. I’m actually surprised it didn’t attempt to get to the food source.
