2007-2008. We used to have a flock of wild turkeys that would come and peck around my bird feeder, so I began to buy cracked corn for them, and they would approach me when they saw me coming with the bucket. I regretted that very deeply. They tore up my perennial flower bed and shredded a very old growth of ivy planted by the previous owner of my home. VERY destructive birds.
@Travelbug They did scare me a time or two. I thought the male leader was getting too close once, and he looked like he might attack me for the bucket of corn, so I threw the corn as fast as I could. Eventually I stopped feeding them, after they wrecked my garden.
