Foot, good story about the butcher shop! I like your writing style too. Just to clear up the veracity of the turkey picture in question I redid the google search and found the same picture. Low and behold it came from a taxidermy website that had this picture right next to it. This one clearly shows that it is in fact a 'stuffed' turkey nailed to a tree!

Good eye, Bri!

*and we now return you to our regularly scheduled thread topic...

Thanks 404,
I just need to add this (monty python):

...Owner: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, innit, squire? Lovely plumage!

**** Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

**** (pause)

**** Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

**** Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised! ...etc.

So, I guess not just Norwegian Blues need to be nailed down.

I lobbied to have one of my bands of the past named 'Nailed to the Perch', but everyone was afraid that no one would get it...

My primary musical associate, who also liked the idea, decided instead to write a song in honor of that skit, though. If I wasn't lazy, I'd type it out.

Turkeys can fly. Once years ago I was in woods squrrel hunting about daylight, w/hangover. A damn turkey flew down from roost & scared the hell out of me, well almost. But if on ground they perfer to run. IMHA
