If you've been following this, you know that Frick and Frack are two male Heritage Turkeys that we raised last year. These silly guys are inseparable, following each other around and preening all the time (I just report - I don't judge). When it came time to butcher turkeys for Christmas, we gave them a pardon.
Marvin called me work today and said that one of them was missing. You need to understand that these fellows weight about 45 pounds apiece. There are others that are smaller that are still in residence. He called back and said that he found him clear down the hill by the front fence. There was a large bald eagle circling around him. It's hard to believe that the eagle could have carried him down there, but I also don't believe he wandered away from his buddy (besides there were feathers missing from him). The only other thought is that a fox might have climbed the fence and tried hauling him off. I don't suppose we will ever know, but the important thing is that he is safe and sound and back with his best friend.
All is well in the HZ Harvest Farm world.
Maybe this is why the eagle was flying over him..............
“I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharking and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable.”
Benjamin Franklin quotes
