Bingley returns

Bingley and the Sorrel the buff

To make room for the short lived Thomas, Bingley the American turkey was shipped over to my friend Eirlys' farm for the duration and because the high jumping goat had returned to his long suffering owner, Bingley has now been returned to me.
The short holiday has brought around a drastic change in the young turkey stag .
Before he was a somewhat aloof and dismissive character who was incredibly bland and notably unfriendly towards me, the person he always saw on a daily basis. Now after a time with the big hearted Eirlys, he has returned acting like a big fat brown budgie!!!
I offered him some corn from my hand (Eirlys said he liked to be "hand fed") and bingo.....he took the offering like a puppy.....a thing that gobsmacked me as he had never allowed himself to be hand fed before.
If I didn't recognise him I would have said that the poor turkey had died and Eirlys had brought into play a doppelganger to  placate me .                                                
Everyday I usually share my breakfast bagel with Boris...today Bingley had half.......
perhaps it was just a case of :- absence makes the turkey heart grow fonder!
