Believe it or not, these three turkeys remove snow from man's front yard. They have been trained to march inline and scrape the ground, removing what's near. The turkeys can remove snow from sidewalks, streets and other public places. In addition, they can rake leaves in the fall. Just think, no more laborious work cleaning away snow or leaves and they do a better job than a snow/leaf blower.
The turkeys are easy to train and all you need to do is spread cracked corn in the area that is in need of clearing and the turkeys go to work. What's really great is that turkeys will work in all types of weather. Who knows, but you may see turkeys being sold at Home Depot or Lowes in the leaf/snow blowing department.
The only problem occurs around Thanksgiving when the birds may end up on the dinner table. These two turkeys are on the run. They certainly don't want to be dinner. I am sure they wished Ben Franklin had his way and the turkey was our national bird. Thank goodness the majestic eagle won the award because it just wouldn't be right to have a national bird that gobbles.

Thanks Ashley, Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
DeleteHow much cracked corn do you think it would take to clear our 5 acres? One odd occurrence is that we usually have 25 or 30 turkeys roaming the property on Thanksgiving morning. Maybe they figure they're safe by then.
ReplyDeleteMark,that would be about one ton of cracked corn per 5 acres, a little pricey, but dependable and hard workers! Have a great Thanksgiving
