We've spotted them a time or two strolling around our neighborhood ... there's a preserve nearby with lots of wildlife so I suppose the turkeys venture out on occasion to see what goodies they might find in peoples yards. The Audubon site says their diet consists of mostly plant material; acorns, seeds, grains, berries, buds, grass, roots, bulbs and they sometimes will also eat insects, spiders, snails, frogs, lizards, snakes and crabs!!

@tarev, cool pic's of those gulls!

Yes, I agree! I love it when wildlife ventures into visible areas. It seems like Florida is some kind of heaven for birds and I LOVE birds! Thanks for the input on diet--I'll throw some seeds out there and see what happens. I'm okay with the squirrels and chipmunks partaking as well as long as they don't nest up against my foundation. But it being winter and all, I guess that's not a concern.
