Then, on the other side of the coin, are the turkeys. Now they can be really stupid... The hen has a specific call that means "I'm on the nest and there is danger approaching!" I can't tell you how many times I've passed turkey nests, totally oblivious to their presence until the hen starts telling me "I'm on the nest and there is danger approaching!"
hazel just doesn't get how telling potential predators that they're close to the nest can
possibly be an effective defense.
Luckily, the dummies breed like...well....like turkeys.
Big broods! Lots of them...
