My friend Arthur and.. his Turkey.

Arthur raised this turkey from an egg. He would have had more, but the eggs only produced at about 10 percent, and then he lost a few to predators. I don’t think he had any intention of befriending them, rather they were going to be nice meals in the fall. However, this one follows him around like a baby looking for its mom, and I think Arthur is going soft on it. I think I even heard him call it a name!
This guy has a lot of growing to do.. I don’t think Arthur will be able to coddle it much longer. (Note, this pictures was NOT staged.. that bird found its way to Arthur’s lap by itself.)

you should have come down to our house when you were up here…could have caught our neighborhood turkey and brought it back to him…he’s already an eater.
