If this bird was shot it is a shame. The turkey can be an awesome pet. We
have 3 hen turkeys and a tom. They are the Royal Palm breed. Very beautiful,
black and white. Our male, Chief Tom, LOVES people. All my puppy buyers
want to take him home. He lets everyone hold him and pet him. Loves his head
scratched, He follows everyone to their cars when they leave. He roams free
all day and if we don't lock them up at night he sleeps on my patio at my
bedroom door. He loves my husband and comes running and I mean running when
my husband calls him. We have had him ever since he was day old. But then
we make pets out of all our animals. Turkeys are awesome birds and not as
stupid as people are lead to believe. To make this doggy ALL my dogs know
Chief Tom is the boss. He really struts his way around. My puppies love him
and follow him all around the yard. When my puppy buyers come out to see
the puppies Tom is right there showing off his babies. It is really a sight!
