This is interesting stuff. Also the veiled method of dealing with the
problem.

The scrub turkey can be a menace in the garden as it scratches around garden
beds looking for grubs and roots. However, this isn't as bad as when a
turkey decides to build a mound in your garden. Nothing short of forced
transportation to a new location miles away will stop the bird from
scratching together every loose item in a circle up to 50m in diameter!

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service have got some helpful hints on how
your garden can co-exist with turkeys, as well as much other interesting
information. If you really can't put up with your neat garden beds starting
to look like Middle East war zones, there are private contractors who will
relocate the offending bird(s) for you - look in your Yellow Pages under
Pest Control (N.B. this is not a service provided by the Parks and Wildlife
Service). But, be aware, nature abhors a vacuum (!), and nothing short of a
desert of concrete will stop another inquisitive turkey investigating the
grubs in your rose bed!

The aboriginal Australians and early settlers did eat the birds, but they
are, of course, now protected.

The qeustion is, how would you deal with this problem ? Turkey soup? And do
they taste anything like a koala?
