The biologist in you is probably having a field day at your new house. I'm loving the pictures!

sitnwrap: *L* All for pecking order. Only 21 toms in this flock. The ladies are all down by the creek and the I'm not sure these toms are even in contention for the gals. These guys fight dirty too. battle was finished when one drove the other into the water trough and then penned him against the fence. Guess that tired the loser out because the battle didn't last long after that. The loser gets of squat down while all the stronger males get to go by a give him a peck or two. It ain't easy being the loser when you're a turkey!....Mel

The other two, not envolved in the fight, look like box referees, watching carefully Adrian

Mel, do they use their sharp talons(for lack of the right word), on each other? I think its on the back toe and razor sharp?

sitnwrap: You know, I thought they jumped and used the spurs like fighting cocks but I haven't seen them do that. Only seen these shoving matches and heard them of course. *L* These sumo matches are noisy!!!....Mel
