This little girl just showed up one day and has been hanging around all winter roosting in the tree in the back yard and eating bird seed at the feeder. My daughter loves her and nicknamed her Jenny. Its kinda neat to call and talk to her and see how she reacts to different tempo's of calling, yelps, putts, kee kee's etc. But shouldn't she be out looking for others of her kind.

Cool pics!

Did you get different reactions for different kinds of calls used?

Yes, Kee Kee's and putts together get her really exited and she will come right over to investigate but of course she doesn't find another bird so she walks off.In the second pic some keekee's brought her over and she is looking at her reflection in a basement window.She hung around a good 15 minutes talking to herself I mean me. Normal puts and purrs keep her looking but not as intent on finding where they are coming from she seems just content to hear them.She will putt and purr back. It would be nice if she found others and came back with little ones but if she doesn't I just hope she locates some friends. She seems happy though as she has likely put on 5 lbs. with all the free food since she first showed up.

Not yet. But I am thinking of putting the Tom decoy out next week and trying some gobbles to see what happens if she is still around. Though about throwing out some fighting purrs to.

Yeah, let us know how you make out. Do you have video mode on your digital camera? It'd be cool to see some video of that.

Very cool................most likely she is an older bird that doesn't want the company of other hens ,she must not have bred last year or she would have a brood with her, could be an old maid..........you couldn't ask for a better teacher to learn the language of the wild turkey. :cheers:
