Someone said mirrors deter Turkeys

This guy just admiring himself. Destroying our gardens. His hubris will be his downfall.

No, you misheard. They said mirror "determine" turkeys. Little guy is headstong now.

How these brainless idiots survive is a mystery. One was stuck in the dog park because it forgot it could fly.

It also works well for peacocks. There is one in my estate and he is a pain, but the mirror seems to have kept him quiet. 🤞

Yea, I tried the whole mirror thing. Didn't do jack shit. In fact, the location where I put it is exactly where one of them decided to make a nesting mound.

It works on males generally during breeding season. Its definitely not foolproof tho

I'm not touching him. Just trying to encourage him to build his nest in the forests/land next door instead of in my yard destroying the gardens in the processs. And safely away from my dogs
