Talk:Wild turkey

Name of the article as per CZ conventions

Hi, Mary, it looks like you've made a fine start to this article! We'll probably have to Move it eventually to Wild turkey to follow our CZ naming conventions. As I'm sure you know, Wild Turkey is an upscale bourbon. No big deal, however, it can be done any time. Hayford Peirce 04:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm dreadfully sorry, kids, but shouldn't this go the way of mourning dove (which still looks plain wrong to me, I'll admit it) to be consistent? We can't have it both ways - there should be a bourbon here. Aleta Curry 03:46, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Looks like we are still waiting for that page move to make this article title fit with Citizendium naming conventions. The two of you are on the Editorial Council - can I leave this one with you? David Finn 09:01, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

External expert?

While I doubt he could become a Citizen, there is a very sociable wild turkey who seems to live behind the local public library's parking lot. We have occasional chats, and perhaps he would comment.

I understand he has relatives in town. There's a turkey that marches up and down one of the commercial fishing piers. Howard C. Berkowitz 05:10, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I had friends who had a big place on the Vineyard for a while and they had a dozen or so wild turkeys always wandering around the place as if they were tame. I kept asking them why they didn't eat any of them.... Hayford Peirce 16:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

The Library Turkey returns courtesy for courtesy. If, however, you approached him with carnivorous intent, he'd either vanish, or plant his feet and glare back "Go ahead. Make my day." He is very, very confident, yet will initiate contact with his head, and seems to like to be petted when he's in the mood. Perhaps he is channeling a cat. Howard C.
