Jeff, just to let you know, the CHD chapter president in Oregon gave you a shout out to a room of about 200 folks at a meeting last weekend. She mentioned you in the context of folks who may not have planned on focusing on this genocide, but found themselves compelled to fight. So, thanks again for coming to the arena, and have a great 'large flightless bird day'!
Ah, a bit of flight, but more of a runner than a flyer.....makes me think of this TV quote, 'As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.'...(WKRP in Cincinatti, when they dropped turkeys from a helicopter)
Ingrid... probably before your time... WKRP Cincinnati was a tv show...the station did a marketing stunt promotion dropping live turkeys out of a helicopter over the Pinedale shopping center circa 1978... no animal cruelty... all audio.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BGFtV6-ALoQ&feature=youtu.be
oh lol ! thanks fo r the update ! I grew up in Europe and wondered if you ever had really good TV shows, like we had when I was a child. So you did ! What happened to these really funny harmless shows? they don't make them like this anymore, I might even think of buying a TV !
Thanks for the link. I played it this morning. Such found memories. I have some heritage turkeys. The hens do a better job of flying, but they only fly to get from one pasture to the other(or my dog training area) or to get up to evening roosting spots on top of fences or the sheep's shelter roof. They don't fly like geese do.
Do you have a Narragansett one? I think they are very handsome...used to be popular in the 1800's....I once saw some Golden Pheasants I think they are called ...first and only, like the Narragansett turkey...so many heritage breeds being brought back by people like yourself, thank you.
BLESS U for looking it up...funny, the one liners you remember...sometimes it takes me years to appreciate a certain scene, a good line....lucky me...best Maureen ODH
I bet the cloned domestic white turkeys are flightless, having been bred for huge breasts, weak muscles, and nearly absent tendons. The wild ones fly to get over fences, into and out of tree branches, and to escape predators.
Karen thank you I am in Poortland. If you are in town ever certainly do lemme know my email is my name [all one word] @pm.me or protonmail.me ok? Will do the same
Hellloooo! We are in FL for the winter. The road from Riley to Lakeview is desolate. I am lucky i have a fast little car. Got up to 120 on that road once. Haha!! :)

Way to go Oregonian fighters!!! 💪🏻
Yes! I didn't know there were any!! 🥳
Amen ~ but what makes you think they are flightless? I love watching them go from the ground into the trees, definitely something I cannot do, lol.

Ah yes, WKRP ... back when sitcoms were funny and not the teensiest bit woke.
WKRP. One of my favorite shows. Still laugh over the phone cops episode.
Or Chai Chai Rodreegwez (Chi Chi Rodriguez). Les Nessman, what a newsman!
Ah, I had managed not to look it up again, but now...i might have to. I may have missed that episode. Such a good cast.
oh no animal cruelty !

It is worth seeing again! Hilarious cast and a very enjoyable program.

I wish I knew...all gone. I wouldn't buy a tv today. Unless you can use it to stream right off the internet....or use it for a computer screen...

I have bourbon red turkeys. The Narragansett are very pretty.
The bourbon ones are handsome too!! Such a sheen when the light hits their feathers.

Jacquelyn, where are you in Oregon? I’m in Bend
FYI - I'm in Portland.
Good to know there are sane people in Pdx 😉
Corvallis Oregonian here.
I live in Dallas Oregon!
Our camping trailer was made there I think. We’ve had it repaired there, nice town.
Karen thank you I am in Poortland. If you are in town ever certainly do lemme know my email is my name [all one word] @pm.me or protonmail.me ok? Will do the same
And if you’re ever here let me know!
I’m kare@karenbandy.com
Bend NEEDS you. BAD. I live in Idaho but shop in Ontario. Travel to my moms through Burns, Riley and Lakeview.
When we moved here it was tiny and conservative. 😩
Boy, we go thru Burns and Riley all the time, and my husband hunts birds so he’s allover the state, and his dog came from Nampa!
Hellloooo! We are in FL for the winter. The road from Riley to Lakeview is desolate. I am lucky i have a fast little car. Got up to 120 on that road once. Haha!! :)
