Sometime in the past, on this list, there's been someone(Del?,

'wild-strain' turkeys in his orchard, as he indicated that they were exceptional
'mousers' , capturing and consuming mice & voles - and the caveat was that
they HAD to be true wild-strain turkeys - the plain old whites & bronzes
just didn't seem to have that instinct.
Wow! That would terrific, as we have plenty of mice and gophers in the area. The bird I spotted had the longest tail feathers I've ever seen on turkey, and he was certainly curious about the trees. Doreen
