Sadly with all the construction going on where the dairy farm used to be, I will on occasion see turkeys and other animals looking for their way.
They used to have a lot of trees where these animals could hide and make a home. Now they are having to find new homes. It is hard to see animals like this female turkey (also called a hen) all alone. But she eventually found her way back to her family. Change is hard, even for the animals.

No

My husband spends hours calling turkeys. I think they own the back pasture.
Yes, change is hard for animals and people to adapt….I don’t like to see new housing up but in Auckland it has become a necessity.
It is very hard Pam to see this happen.
Apparently changes always make it difficult for anyone and anything.
Hey, in the past few months there have been new neighbors who have several turkeys, unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to take their picture.
Change is hard for all of us, you know I agree. Animals are no different.
Oh cool, maybe you can snap a photo and share soon. Take care!
Everything must indeed adapt and adjust itself continuously…
I hope tomorrow I will have time to capture them for Saturday Creature.
I have never seen a wild turkey before.
They usually are seen with their entire family, the male gobbler and the little ones.
It is sad when animals lose their natural habitats. It upsets me that we humans are destroying their homes. I’m glad the turkey found his family though. I used to see a while peacock when I used to go and visit my Grandmother.
I know, it breaks my heart but thankfully she found her family.
On the walk, we encounter many wild creatures. The dogs, both insist that they are not wild animals but rather “have thats.”
I am sure your dogs love chasing all of them.
not as much now that they are older. But once upon a time yes they did!
Yes in my area it is found many in Jungle
That is cool you see many animals.
I see wild animals everyday deer, rabbits, squirrels, … the raccoon less often and everyone has birds I hope. There is a deer trail through my yard. It’s furrowed they made a rut! But, even in San Francisco there were coyotes in the early morning by the museum and raccoons walked around all they like at 4 am. Hawks were in Golden Gate Park always and peregrine falcons had nests downtown in the skyscraper canyons feeding on pigeons mostly. In the city I admired animals living there successfully.
Hopefully the turkey will be OK
I saw all of these growing up. With the construction here I see less and less. There are buffalo in a field over behind the new homes. We used to hear coyotes every night. Would love to see eagles. I used to see hawks in the filed, now houses. 🙁 The turkey is fine for now, she was reunited.
You have buffalo behind the new homes? How very cool! I love the bison; and it’s been so abused by man over the decades. They used to shoot them for sport and leave the carcasses to rot. The Native Americans needed them for food and would never think of leaving meat to rot in a field.
Man is always encroaching on an animal’s territory. Makes me really sad.
Yes it is very sad. I wish I could find homes for all of them.
We began to encroach far too much into the living space of animals.
Yes that is my point. When I witness it like this it breaks my heart.
Very interesting photo. Cute turkey.
Thanks, she was lost but eventually found her way home.
Hope you have a great evening!
I am glad she find way. She looks like she looking something.
Yes she was searching for her family.
I am glad she found her familly.
I have pleasant evening. I am listening something on Youtube and i am here on Virily. Have a nice evening.
Thank you again for commenting.
Very beautiful picture, dear Carol … we are guilty of the same people … … our bears are walking poo village and attacking people … it is not a fault of an animal, but we are embroiled in their fields
Thank you Lado. I was sad for the turkey but she did find her way home.
All wild animals should live in nature. I have never been in circus, refused to go there even in childhood, and never took there my children. I thought they should not think it’s normal to see wild animals tamed and closed. But I should admit that I am neither one who fight at streets for animals rights. 🙁
Agree with you. Very sad for the abused and forgotten animals I wold give them all homes if I could.
I do not like that we deprive the animals of their natural environment. Some species may disappear completely.
It makes me so sad and nothing I can do.
Hope you have a great evening!
