Not me either. When I had the farm one of the birds I raised was Royal Palm turkeys, One pen inside the chicken coop and the other outside with fencing...1 male and 3 female royal Palms....A wild one flew into the outside enclosure and he and my tom got into bloody fight. My husband didn't ‘t like birds so he handed me the leather gloves and said......go getum Judy....I finally got the 2 untangled and grabbed the wild one by the legs and threw him into the part of the chicken coop that held my other Royals.....He had a beard that reached the ground. I ended up giving him a couple of females for himself....breeding 2 different breeds (coloration) was quite interesting...

Darn, can’t get the video to play.
