Poor birds, bad reps. Hey, isn't that a bird in your avi? :D

I read somewhere that turkeys came from Turkey, thus the name.

You need to read better books.


"When Europeans first encountered turkeys on the American continent, they incorrectly identified the birds as a type of guineafowl (Numididae). Guineafowl were also known as turkey fowl (or turkey hen and turkey ....) because they were imported to Central Europe through Turkey. The name turkey fowl, shortened to just the name of the country, stuck as the name of the American bird."

I was hoping to see a pic with his tail feathers on display. I guess there were no lady peacocks around for him to impress.

He grows them and sheds them, just starting to grow back now. He is the only one of his kind here :(, but I catch him displaying to...turkeys, who he hangs out with.

Hi vapspaz. :)

Whiskey asked us to look out for you. Did you want to pick a theme for your vet turning party?

Heya! I didn't see your post earlier cause I was too busy trying to figure out those damn ink blots. :) You know what they say about simple minds. LOL
And thanks but I think I'll just let myself slip quietly into Vet status. I normally don't get a lot of time to sneak in here on ECF so I don't venture out of my regular sub forums much. I get lost easily around here. :) Damn I feel old by saying that. LOL I'm still cornfused about this vet turning party thing. Am I suppose to look for a special thread or sumthin? I don't want to be rude and not stop in and say thanks if there is going to be a special thread posted someplace.

BTW... For the record I'm a "he". I just checked. :laugh:

Good to read and meet you, he man. Whis can explain the whole thing better. I was just standing guard coz she told me to. :D

Yah, big place, isn't it? I do the same, hang out in a couple places. I'm no spring chicken or turkey either. :)

Celebrate how you want. Congrats on becoming Veteran!



The ink blobs...:facepalm:
