Thanksgiving must be getting close! These birds had traffic waiting for several minutes but everyone enjoyed the wait. Rural living at its best!!

I would not want them up on my vehicle.
Years ago a tenant calls me mad as all get out... Neighbors Turkeys were on his new Black Mustang GT. Told him to go see them and bring them over to show the damage they done. Scratches everywhere on the hood and hardtop.

That's where my stupid turkeys went! 20 or so years ago I had the problem of turkeys wanting to roost on my garage. They would roost at the peak and then slide down and take off from the eaves and land in the yard. Not exactly good for the roof or the eaves. When I would pull into the driveway they would only begrudgingly get out of my way. I started keeping a couple of Black Cat firecrackers in the car and one day I rolled down my window and threw one near the flock. After it went bang, a couple of those stupid birds came over and pecked at the smoke in the grass where the firecracker exploded.
Back then, I was a Michigan hunter safety instructor and at the next class mentioned what happened to my local conservation (game warden) officer Henry. Henry just laughed and told me that wild turkeys had bred with domesticated turkeys and the results were the stupidest birds anyone had ever seen. He told me not to worry because the fox and coyotes would weed out all the really stupid ones shortly. So I wonder if that is what is going on by you, hybrid dumber than normal birds. Bob

Don't see any beards on them.
That one dancing seems to be trying to impress them other two gobblers.
Might be Gay Gobblers.

We are down to just one turkey a female
The last male got too close to our husky and it did not play nice

After he lost his mate he took on the turkey as his pal and watches over her
We still have a bunch of chickens running around .
But it's funny how the turkey and goose are now a couple
i May have too add to the alphabet groups Letters as soon as I figure out what the combination of turkey and goose would considered lol

If them Turks got on my vec and they would not live very long or bothered.
I knew a guy that had saved his hard earned dollars and bought himself a new Toyota truck one of them little ones.
His son and daughter in law lived right next door and they bought some free ranging goats and were going to start selling goat milk.
The nice old guy called me (as a Neighbor) to help him get his nice Massey Ferguson tractor running. When I seen the tractor them goats hzd eat off the spark plug wires and some other wires. Not just chewed but eat.
As I was working on his tractor at the barn I glanced towards his house and a big Billy Goat was standing on top of the cab of his NEW Toyota and that BIG Bill Goat jumped stiff legged off the top of the cab into the center of the hood then to the ground. The guy had his back towards the site and did not see such and I never mentioned what I had seen.
When I got through with his tractor few days later after he had bought parts I casually mentioned he needs to do something about them goats and his neighbors.
Goats (and some neighbors/kinfolks) can be worse than rats.

I don't remember Brewster the Rooster, but I also didn't have young kids (or my childhood) during 2017 either.
