Turkey Poults Roosting mbo blog

A Rio Grande wild turkey hen takes her young brood into a high roost to protect them from nightly danger.

[@donaldparsons8906]

I live in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains on my 14 acres, we have anywhere from 0 to 40 turkeys on out little meadow below our house every day and get to watch them fly into the pine trees every night. It’s even cooler to see them just at daylight as they glide down from their perches. Wish I could send a video of that.

[@jamesvatter5729]

I was fortunate enough to photograph this a couple years ago. The hen was already on a sycamore branch hanging over a creek when I spotted her. One of the seven poults fell trying to get situated underwing. It nearly ended up in the stream, but flew back up unscathed. I'm sure they knew I was there, but I was glad I didn't drive them off roost.

No matter what species we talk about theres one undeniable trait that all have in common & there’s nothing else like it. And that’s a Mother’s LOVE ❤️

[@Kimoto504]

Some species are not so great parents. Some don't parent beyond procreation. Others still abuse their offspring for their own enjoyment. And that's just the humans. Then there's the animal kingdom, which is the same.

[@JodBronson]

@@Kimoto504 - Well, the "not so great parents" sometimes gives to the 'unable parents'. Some are walking around with bipolar + other mental health issues.

Bird mothers are notoriously cold and cruel compared to mammal mothers. Watch the endless mother duck and geese videos. They really don't care.

[@kimcwhite6509]

I've never seen this but I lived in the country when the chicks were new. Mother Turkeys are such great mothers. I'd watch them from my house window and listen to her sweet talk to her babies. Unfortunately with the nesting on the ground, predators and hay cutting, not too many make it to adulthood. Great video💙

[@starlitnews]

Wow! without exaggerations one of the best wildlife videos I have seen. Spoken commentary of the adoring chicks gathered, beneath the mother bird’s wings at night, for warmth and comfort was pleasing. In a way, I felt that the author was trying to communicate a message to us, not to eat them, and to kill them as animals have the same rights to live on Earth. This lady could teach the humans a lesson or two, foremost is the message "a mother’s love is unconditional and eternal".

Same with my peafowl and red jungle fowl. My only worry is when winter hits. They will freeze to death in the trees. I have to work extra hard to get them into the coop, Especially the jungle fowl.

I was lucky enough to see the poults fly away when they and their mother stopped by to eat the food dropped by the songbirds eating at the feeders a couple of summers ago. I knew adult turkeys could fly, but not the poults. 😀😁

What a pritty young hen and polt. When fishing at my honey hole sometimes they would come out and peck around not long but how nice . Lots of hens with young. So I made the fishing spot my fall honey hole so they had no outside pressure. But what a sight to behold.
