Pelican
Raven and Turkey

| The raven was
unable
to fly when
along came a turkey and attacked. The raven lay on its back,
squawked loudly and thrashed upwards with its feet, while the turkey
pecked downwards repeatedly. The turkey became increasingly
distracted
by the approaching camera and eventually discontinued and the raven
survived. Turkeys are an introduced species and some have gone feral. |
