This pair of wild turkey hens had 16 poults between them. I was lucky enough to see them, and actually get some pics, at the Montour Preserve.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Imagine driving along and then having a couple of adult emus run onto the road with offspring and sprint away ahead of you? It was my reward four years ago after my daughter and family abruptly terminated a christmas picnic and I foolishly and angrily drove off into a forest out of telephone contact and probably 30 miles from the nearest unknown habitation. Fortunately nothing broke down or incapacitated me or the car and I did not comprehend my stupidity until I got home.
A grown full size emu can eat food put on the crown of a 6 foot tall person's head.

@Insectra After seeing what I buried had been dug up and eaten by a wild turkey I wouldnt touch one with a bargepole. - I had buried about 3 years of fat caught in the kitchen sink waste pipe's fat trap. It stank like a bad case of halitosis, some was green, some white, some pink and all slimy and very sticky. There must have been 3-5 kilos buried. It ate the lot. At least the washing up detergent was supposed to be biodegradeable and I never found a dead turkey around the yard!
how very idyllic! you captured this little mob perfectly - artistic pics
