How to keep wild turkeys out of the garden?
+2
The wild turkeys are taking over the rural hood .near Nelson B.C......they don`t seem to have many predators keeping them in check (here at least ) they do a lot of damage with their big clawed feet scratching where ever they can....
Show them pictures of your last Thanksgiving dinner:)
Sprinklers on motion detectors, fireworks, or dogs will eventually send these guys running
Be careful with your dogs! These guys have talons that can really hurt them. If you have even the slightest breeze, these helped keep mine out from under my apple trees: https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwiHt7T0m_vZAhVMI4EKHff9AKcYABAQGgJ5dw&sig=AOD64_2nLrjaJ2BJXHY2A1o-DeyDPQny8A&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjgh6_0m_vZAhUOylMKHXSxBscQ9aACCEc&adurl=

Tell them that THANKSGIVING IS NEXT WEEK!!! Have you tried to talk to any of your local government people to see if there's a way to rid the community of the turkeys? They may be afraid of dogs so if you know someone with a large dog, ask to borrow it for a few days. This may scare them away. I know that there are companies that will come with their dogs to chase geese away, but don't know if there is anything like that in BC. Good luck.
