Turkeys have excellent hearing and are very wary animals.

No offense to Lame Tom, but don't turkeys give old meaning to "Bird Brain?"... Emus aren't members of Mensa, I'm told.

Domestic turkeys are so dumb that they supposedly will drown in a rainstorm because they look up and have rain down their throats. The wild ones are a little brighter, of necessity.

As for ice and falling trees, I did have a 7-ton tree fall on the house while I was sitting in the living room. But that was due to rain, not ice. There was 30 inches of rain in nine days, three years ago. So, the ground softened, and an ancient tree toppled over. Thank God the porch roof was built so strongly that no serious damage occurred.

Now, there are no trees left except a very sturdy (and short) maple is within falling distance of the house.
