OK, now that is truly sad. Sorry, but this is probably the worst time of year for turkey photography, you just can not get those guys to smile once the leaves start to fall. This particular turkey, though mean as heck (he tried to bite me), is not nearly as pitiful as the turkey we've been posting about here pretty regularly over the past few days. Another difference? This one won't be eaten alive!
Actually this one won't be eaten at all. He's at the National Aviary, safe and sound and likely feasting on his own Thanksgiving dinner of Aviary visitors. Ouch. Seriously, they are mean. I don't know what Ben Franklin was thinking.
" ... For the truth the Turkey is in comparison a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America . . . He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a bird of courage, and would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his farm yard with a red coat on."
Maybe Mr. Franklin had a point. Except not all turkeys have courage, Ben. Some are actually pretty cowardly, in addition to being just plain mean.
Like this one. So dishonorable, in fact, that Keith declared him the "Worst Person in the World".
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from your friends at KV. Sorry about not posting part 2 of the book event, but "Worst Person in the World" is a pretty big distinction, and there are very few occasions where I can use an actual turkey photo. Book Part 2 tomorrow.
