We've had a marauding gang of around 4-6 Brush turkeys for a year or two
now - they don't seem to be interested in mound building (thankfully) but
just arrive early mornings and late afternoons, strut around the yard a bit,
have a few half-hearted territorial disputes amongst themselves and then
settle down to 'roost' for the night, high in the branches of the gums
around the house.
