turkey problem

now, in addition to having had not one, but two (2) Crow
Problems, i now have the dubious honor of being bestowed a
Turkey Problem as well.

i go on lots of walks. bit over a mile. four, five times a
day. one day, i get back from a walk, and there's a giant
wild turkey right by the back door i am aiming to ingress.

dfgdhfgjdfg turkey i say, sassing it. then i see: there's a
little baby turkey. it's kind of an ugly duckling -- turkeys
are not the most handsome birds -- but, alright, that's kind
of cute. i actually am all "oh sorry turkey" and they
scuttle off. i smile and go inside

but then, after that, they're just constantly there. i go
out for a walk, they're on my doorstep. i come back, they're
back. the last straw was, well, i was amped up and kind of
hustling out the door, yeahhh, let's go for a wok -- i'd
spent some time on my exercise machine thing and i was
already warmed up and eager -- and i close the door, lock it
in smooth rhythm, music going, and... almost step on a baby
turkey, hanging out on my steps again.

since then, i've gotten less polite. i started gently,
flapping around. they go hide behind the shed for three
minutes, then come back. i have to go flap around the side
of the shed, no, that's not good to hide there either, ok?
at this point i am keeping an umbrella by the door so i can
go sean connery on them at a moment's notice. like, ten feet
from my door, ten feet. that's all i ask. i almost stepped
on your baby you idiot bird; why do you have to make this so
hard

we're someone between 2-3 dozen Turkey Incidents at this
point. i think i need to order a vintage 90's Super Soaker
(tm) off the tubes

posted this thread, they promptly never showed up again.

perhaps they read xltronic

was out walking early AM, and i turn around to see a, er,
gaggle of turkey crossing the street behind where i'd just
walked. i do believe i audibly snerked as a visceral
response.

i suppose, yes -- i really appreciate nature; wildlife -- as
long as it's at least ten feet from my doorstep.

related: today, i had to stop walking, because there was a
little fuzzy brown mouse scuttling from the street towards
the house owned by idiot old people. the mouse had no
fucking hesitation. indeed, i would never just step on the
little bugger; it knows it has me. so i stop walking and it
scuttles across the sidewalk. i glance up at a lady in a BMW
stopped at the light where this is all occurring and she is
making a phace i wish i could have smartfone fotographed;
but, no. you can't capture everything
