Wednesday night at 8pm on PBS.
I saw this show about a man that raises a brood of turkeys and loved it. If you like turkeys you will love it too. 8)

A friend in here send me the DVD. The best part was the private conversation sounds that the turkeys make to each other. I have sat thru I-dunno-how-many viewings with various turkey calls trying to duplicate "turkey talk".
The biologist in me had issues with the unsupported anecdotal claims he made, but I finally had to admit the guy is an artist, not a ornithologist. Some amazing video shots, one of my favorites was a close up of a grasshopper on a leaf of grass as the flock walks by. Suddenly a head flashes thru the screen and the hopper just isn't anymore!

The photography was great. His thoughts were a bit out there but he lived with the turkeys for a year and had no contact with other humans so I guess he was off his bird a bit. ;)

When I first read the title I thought you had wrote a Biography Pat. >:D Just kidding my friend. Sounds great

...I am a tough old bird! ;D

I couldn't figure out how I felt about the guy as I watched the very interesting program. I kept asking, "is he a little crazy?". Then at the very end of the program there was a note that said he was living with a herd of muledeer in Wyoming or somewhere.... O:)
