Hmmm, if you have problems with bush turkeys, you obviously have the
wrong sort of garden. We had a mound on our back fence at our previous
residence, and didn't have any problems whatsoever - but then we didn't
have any flower beds and we did donate all our grass clippings to the
mound [try as he might, the turkey would have lost over half the
clippings between the compost heap and his mound].
Anyhow, I'm a firm believer in turkey rights - they do wonderful work in
the rainforest!!
