never trust ANY tom turkey.

Okay....but are they usually nice? Our two geese aren't very nice, even though I tried to 'socialize' them. Has anyone had turkey's that are nice? He never was socialized because I figured I was going to eat him, but he's such a sweet bird. He's not mean at all, which I find unusual. He doesn't seem to pick on any of the other birds.

I used to have kardosh bronze and Spanish black turkeys, we showed them and the 1 bronze tom was national champion at Ohio Nat show. They were pretty tame and never made a bad move. I have had some others which began as pets, followed ya all over the place, until one day that all changed when the tom decided to whack anyone in sight. i dont think its anything breed specific, might be in the blood line? So, its possible it could be strain specific? Whit is just a color, all turkeys are the same except for color and some differences in type due to selection.

I had broad breasted bronze and they never even thought of being nasty. Would take them out walking in the pasture every day and when they had pecked away for a while they would follow me back to their pen. I couldn't leave them out because the coyotes would get them as soon as I turned my back.Also raised wild ones but they wouldn't even think of coming anywhere near me.

I had a white female turkey named turk turk and she was such a sweet heart ! I would bend down with my arms opened she would come running into my arms turn bright red when I'd pet her! If I sat down she would come behind me and put her head under my arm as to cuddle with me! She laid an egg a day for me and she started a nest a week before my husbands dog got loose and killed her ! I'm still upset about it :-(
