Anonymous starts with ... Does anyone else have problems with bush turkeys digging up trees? This is really pissing me off....they kick the mulch off and erode the mounds I build for seemingly no purpose whatsoever. Does anyone know how to deter them? I am very close to doing something very very awful to one resident gobbler. | About the Author sternus1 7th November 2013 5:22pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Grant says... The say they don't like shiny things dangling around the place, so i put some CDs out. Not sure how well it worked because i pulled out a lifesize blow-up version of myself from the cupboard (a friend made it for my wife) .... [I could explain but it's too hard], and hung it from the bottlebrush out the front. They would not come within 40meters of it. Sure got the neighbours talking! | About the Author Grant Lennox Head 7th November 2013 7:28pm #UserID: 6119 Posts: 156 View All Grant's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anonymous says... Last year I was talking to an Indigenous guy at my local pub, who has then homeless. He told me the police had tried to charge him for eating one, but apparently its within his rights to do that. I asked him the same thing and he said it doesn't really taste like either, so there you go. | About the Author sternus1 8th November 2013 3:28pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anonymous says... They are not good to eat and rather like a ball of wool boiled in a pot with a chicken stock cube. Indigenous Australians do not get charged with eating wildlife.When using firearms on turtles,cassowaries or maybe dugongs when the people are not the traditional owners and in a protected area there may be a case.It happens all the time and people are not getting charged. | About the Author 8th November 2013 3:49pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Mike, bush turkey is yummy if you cook it long enough:) This piece came from a bird in a gigantic Dutch oven (part of wing) - they're a pest on someone's property on Whidbey Island, Washington, USA where I attended a community pot luck dinner. Everything was home made, home grown - or home caught :)

lee83 says... Oh my goodness I have one very annoying turkey take over my yard. It has been driving me crazy for months now I take its nest apart and the next day it's built it again. I came across another forum that said they are territorial. I got a box and put mirror on each side, drove a stake down into the nest and put the box over top of it. For the last two days now I've been laughing my butt off watching the turkey attack it's reflection. Apparently this will go on for a week or so until it gives up and figures it's lost it's nest. | About the Author lee83 stafford heights 14th December 2013 9:05am #UserID: 9185 Posts: 1 View All lee83's Edible Fruit Trees |
