Description
Here is a pic of the turkey. His tail has a very light edge, but It isn't pure white, it is light beige. I as I learn more about turkeys, I am beginning to suspect this is a domestic "heritage" turkey, not a wild turkey. He is too tame.Related content

I know this is kind of an old photo... but... anywho, that's a hen! I also disagree and think she's wild, her feathers right before her tail are too dark. Standard Bronze turkeys coverlet feathers are white or lighter. Who knows, maybe she's a cross.
Does she still stick around or have you gotten into turkeys more recently? Gosh, they're a hoot.

She was a wild turkey hen indeed. She stayed around for three years, but she was vanished! I hope she joined a group of her own species, but we'll never know.

Oho, he's a cutie! But yeah... come to think of it I've heard wild turkeys are incredibly skittish, so I'd be surprised if he was one.

He's definitely not anything like the wild turkeys I get in my yard! I'd have to agree that I think it's from a farm or something in your area.

Well, from what I know, wild turkeys can seem relatively tame when they are young, but become distinctly more "wild" when they reach adulthood. If you are able to, visit the PBS website and see if you can watch the Nature program from this season, "My Life as a Turkey" -- great stuff!
We recently got a wild turkey at the wildlife-education place I volunteer at, and she is a hoot. I make turkey-noises at her (according to the above program, they have quite an extensive vocal repetoire), and she seems very intrigued by that. But she's gotten to the point where I'd be wary about getting near her.
I think turkeys just have such gorgeous feathers!

You mean he's a lost pet or something?

I'll probably just leave him alone, unless he starts attacking ME, or seriously attacking the llamas... then we shall see ...

Dem some preeety feathers when he sheds them.. I had a whole bagful of them from some fly fishers who's brother had gotten and had no use for the feathers, and he just plopped this big garbage bag of feathers in my hands and said "have fun!". It was years ago and the bag had since been thrown away via stepmom ¬_¬
If he appears to be domesticated, you could ask around to see if anyone lost their turkey and have them come fetch him.

Aaaaand, knowing what little I do of you, you'll study him for all he's worth and draw him in your awesome comic (Air Carps had me laughing SO HARD!)

Well he's awful pretty for your supposed pest guest.

Perhaps try and tame him? With a nice golden collar or something so his inner peacock is appeased?
