Our New Pet, Gertrude (Gertie)

We did not buy this lovely pet and in fact never thought we would have this sort of animal as a pet. This evening we had a knock on our door from a kid we did not know. He said that a female turkey flew into our backyard. Seriously?!? We had to check this out! The kid went around the back and said that he's been chasing this poor thing for awhile. He saw it when he was coming home from school. Poor thing! It just kept pacing back and forth, back and forth. Jake got a bowl of water for it and it actually drank from it. It also went right over to our citrus trees and got a drink from them too. For now, it's our pet until it decides to "fly the coop". I hope they don't make a lot of noise. Anyone want to come over for Thanksgiving????
