There are 25 wild turkeys in this particular flock. I met them on South Road at Lochinvar, just across the street from the Gabriola Museum. Later they moved up the road a bit to the Gabriola RCMP Station. And later? They’ll be at your house, oh yes they will, terrorizing your dog.

That turkey at our place last month was from the advance scouting team. Other turkey-scouts were fanning out across Gabriola, each examining a different neighbourhood. They look for weaknesses. They want to live at your house.

The Executive Chef has only one question: are they good to eat?
