Hi everyone,

All of this talk about animals reminds me of a funny experience a few years ago. At a nearby Kroger (nationwide
chain of grocery stores), there's several -big- tom turkeys living in the grove behind it and in winter, when
the toms get hungry, they go to the main door at Kroger and beg for food. It's the funniest thing.

They can get nasty though. They probably weigh 30-40 pounds each.

I bet it is funny. I have never been around a lot of them, but that is one wild animal I wouldn't suspect of being a food begger. I wonder if someone
got in the habit of feeding them to start it off? :D

Oh, I'm sure they did. I don't think turkeys are naturally aggressive begging humans for food.

I always thought that Canadian Geese were but then I encountered some in
Canada that didn't seem bothered at all that I was nearby eating lunch. I
was surprised that they paid me no mind & left me alone. I think it is
in places where they are used to people showing up and offering food that
they become (*very*) aggressive beggers.

I used to joke that the Canadian Geese in Canada were more polite than the
ones that migrate or settle here. :D
