Another cat rescue organization nearby is Flatbush Cats located in Brooklyn. They have a website and are on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. Many beautiful cats and kittens looking for a home.

Only when the snow falls here in New England.

In the Fall, they are moving around. In the spring they… well they do something else to make new Turkeys.

I was upstate over the weekend for a little R&R. There were a flock of turkeys that were running around my daughter and her BF for a few mins in the middle of the road while they were walking.

I saw it from a far and couldn’t believe my eyes. Normally they bolt when they see people and there are plenty of hunters up there so they should be much less than comfy around people. :turkey:

For many wild critters, it’s presently the beginnings of the rutting season - and pheromones exuded by many mammals (including we wee humans) only heighten the drive to procreate.

I’m not surprised to learn that the undomesticated flock in question was congregating around human lovers out for a leisurely stroll, because I’ve seen the same behaviour a time or more before (Full Disclosure: I was rooted in an agrarian/animal husbandry environment bequeathed to my generation by our elders; despite having been directly raised as an ‘Army Brat’ by my sainted parents, I never lost touch with the fruits of the land embodied by those rooted antecedents).

As my sainted elders were won to say:
You MUST be ‘living right.’

With all due respect where it’s due:

Did Ollie like seeing those big turkey-birds?

Haha. Ollie was back in Queens watching regular birds out the window when we were in Ulster County.

He’s such a pain in the ■■■. If he keeps it up, I’m sending him to Ohio. LOL
