I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Eeeee! That is so. damned. cool.

Also double points for connie, then - accuracy and imagery together.

I grew up in the borderlands of the Applachian Mountains. I am familiar with stupid lazy hunters and some game birds.

I hear that wild turkeys are making a big comeback population-wise.

(fascinated with new information) It's hard to tell from those pictures - do they get very high? As in, becoming those dots wheeling off in the distance? The ones in the pictures look as if they keep fairly low, rather than doing the kind of soaring a lighter bird might do.

I think they're low fliers, preferring to go from cover to cover. They like woody areas.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

We have tons of wild turkeys around our house. They fly up into the trees to roost at night--they kind of have to hop from branch to branch. The farthest I've ever seen one fly, though, was when Zoe ran barking at an unlucky straggler, who gobbled and managed, somehow, to fly over the garage. OMGWTF was that funny. They don't fly so much as take wobbly high jumps.

The drabble challenge is good, but I am completely braindead. Loving the ones posted so far, though.

So it sort of the like the quail/grouse/pheasant flying preferences? Most excellent.

Right -- those are all galliformes.
