Lonesome Wild Turkey "Adopts" Illinois Family
 |
Three wild turkeys hatched out last spring near the Marley farm. "I had seen them off and on during the year. Then something happened to two of them so there was just the one left. We didn't think much about it until we turned on our outdoor Christmas lights last fall. That apparently caused the remaining bird to come close to the house. We started feeding him and he liked it."
They dubbed him Lonesome Jake and soon he was coming right up to the open window. But Jake is fussy. He only likes purple grapes. He will not eat green ones. He just turns his head to the side in disgust until they come up with some purple ones.
