Brush Turkeys, [ Come on, you knew that]

I have dozens visiting my house in the Central Coast.
I have no problems with them as I have a bush "garden" and it slopes down to the road.
If they chose to build a mound I would be happy as they would shift some of the burnable leaf litter away from the house.

One little know feature is that they can fly reasonably well. They roost in the highest branch of a high tree each night. Luckily I have no high trees that are reachable with a scrabble and fly, but my neighbor across the road curses them as they scramble up his tin roof each night to reach a low branch on a tree next to the house, and from that jump ever upward.
They come when I put out sunflower seed for the King parrots, but the Lorikeets bite them on the toes which dissuades them.

I have a brush turkey trap, which I picked up from a trap supplier. Works a treat, only bait I use is a mirror. Once trapped I take the culprit on a good drive to another bush location and release(I do this with pair...one at a time), usually takes less than 24 hrs to catch both. Voilla...no turkey...for a little while...last pair trapped seven months ago!
If you need I'll send you a photo.

Good Luck!

We have a mating pair stalking the street, checking out the gardens. You need a good dog.
