Title: Ideas for a turkey scarecrow.
Post by: Hawkfarm on July 31, 2013, 06:51:09 PM
The turkeys got into one of my flower beds and are using it as a dusting area.  I replaced the soil and replanted a bunch of flowers once already.  I tilled up a 10x20 area in the garden 30 yards away just so they would have lots of dirt to dust in.  But they've continued to use the flower bed and have now torn out even more flowers and are digging regular fox holes.  And they seem to be obnoxious about using it, just staring and daring me to go out to run them off.  I'm not sure that low fencing would keep them out if they want in.  Got any ideas for a turkey scarecrow.  I thought about putting one or two of the rubber snakes in the flowers.  I like seeing the turkeys.  I don't like them tearing up my flower bed.

Does the new garden area have any vegetation in it they might want some concealment, put some hen decoys in the bed you made for them.

Why not just make a dusting site for them near there? That way they'll leave your garden alone, and you still get to enjoy watching the turkeys. :icon_thumright:
