My husband and I

Australian Bush TurkeyMy husband and I are currently looking to buy a new house and part of the reason I want to leave our current home is because we have a serious Bush Turkey problem.

One of my passions in life besides architecture is gardening and this week I am at WAR, yes WAR with those DAMN BUSH TURKEYS! (Australia has its own native turkeys - of the feathered variety, that is).

Ironically I was recently at a client’s house discussing their renovation requirements when the client suddenly said “Oh, look somebodies turkey must have escaped!”. “Oh yes, how sweet”, I thought maliciously!

Keeping this “protected species” from digging up everything you have just planted is virtually impossible. They are capable of short flights and are more than able to jump/fly onto second storey veranda’s to dig out the soil from your pot plants and rip into your garbage bags.

Our next home will have to be in a turkey free zone! :-)
