@king-jerr I can see your interpretation. But it's hard to say what was wrong with her mom. That's where I think you're jumping to conclusions. I'm not entirely clear on what sort of place she's running, exactly.

Self-inflicted by stupid humans.

I think the bowed head is because her being next to him lets him relax for a minute. He's on high alert looking out for both of them the rest of the time. You look at the world from their point of view, and their behavior is totally understandable. I think most corvids mate for life and hold funerals for family and clan. If they had hands, they'd be dangerous.

I very much doubt that the birds feel in any way friendly towards the dog. But I think the stress the dog's putting on them is probably good for them. He gives them a reason to cooperate and neutralize a threat to the flock, like they'd handle a snake. You just better hope the dog never gets a taste for chicken. As long as there's plenty of food and 3 or 4 birds at a time can hold him off. I saw a couple what-I-assume-are-young-roosters keeping the dog occupied for a stretch, I don't think it's a problem, and puts more muscle on the birds. Make no mistake. High-dollar real estate we're lookin' at. Has a freshwater stream through the property. Look at that heavy-duty fencing. More to keep out humans than critters. I wonder if this is kind of a tax shelter... Never heard that about turkeys and how they think, or anything about Native Americans foregoing their flesh. Not sure that's not made-up. When it comes to Native Americans, I think it's more about recognizing the animal also has a spirit, but your need is great. OK. 2-minute search indicates that Native Americans did raise turkeys for their feathers in the long-ago, rather than for eating, but that doesn't mean that all tribes avoided eating turkey.
