THIS N THAT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMY.  I love you.  

Turkey facts:

"Only male turkeys gobble."   I bet it's the females that make them gobble.

"Turkeys can see better than humans."  I'm surprised they know the letters on the eye chart?

"You can identify if a turkey is male or female by it's poop."  Well, I can't but maybe you can.

"After the President pardoned the two turkeys this year, they were sent to Purdue University."  For higher education, I suppose!  

"Benjamin Franklin preferred the turkey to the bald eagle."   Would we have been eating eagle at Thanksgiving?

Think you know all about turkeys?   Take the turkey quiz that I wrote four years ago for my family.  Answers tomorrow.
