1. Identify the bully [this is Godfrey, the godfather of ganderdom].
2. Contemplate what to do with the bully situation [Bubble and Baby Turkey contemplating Godfrey].
3. Plan out a strategy.
4. Walk away from the bully.
5. Attack the bully if need be [Baby Turkey attacking Godfrey, with Bubble supervising so that Godfrey doesn’t get hurt, but is taught a lesson].
6. Turn the other cheek [Woodroffe and Diamond demonstrating this].
7. Ignore the bully and leave him next to the rubbish bins for at least one hour!

Oh, the humiliation! Bubble and Baby Turkey deserve gold medals for their judo moves.
Your geese are very intelligent – for sure I would walk away from the turkey stand up too. *smile – brilliant how you tell the story for them. Enjoy very much – love your humor.
Ooh, those scheming turkeys look so evil – great pics, Julie
Evil? They are like kittens when you get to know them – ha!
i always admire the back ground scenery in your photos…….always wonder what your home looks like too, must be as beautiful as the outdoors……….
It’s a very old house – I’ll take a picture eventually!
i love old houses, they have personality. i love victorian style the best. i used to own my own antique business and so antiques, old things are in my blood. i bet i would love your home
How many lives have you lived? Wow – an antique business, how wonderful and yes you would love this house!
i knew it!!! i have only lived one life, but antiques and helping people are what i do best i guess. love black baby dolls, victorian anything, old toys and lots of costume jewelry. i used to help run auction houses, and had my own business where i refinished antique furniture for clients and also sold in my own store
Well this is fascinating!
Great photos, Julie.
I think you should tell Godfrey that if he doesn’t stop the bullying, I might fly over and nab him for Christmas dinner this year – that will scare him pretty quickly.
You are not going to cook my goose!
Thanks for my first smile of the day.
You are very welcome!
in the strategy mode they do look like members of a committee. Good on Baby Turkey! But where would the stories be if it weren’t for Godfrey?
Yes he really is the main character isn’t he!
Who woulda thunk that ‘for the birds’ lessons could have applicable lessons for us humans!
It’s so funny because when I wrote that post about the turkeys thinking of attacking Godfrey, I didn’t realize they really would!
I just love the flow of this blog – how it moves from pre-wedding day to bird conversations! Hahahaha… Kinda like mine.
Well it was all about birds to begin with – ha!
I just love these birds!! Just looking at the pics and reading about them relaxes me.
That’s so interesting because every time I look at them it relaxes me too!
Why do I identify the most with Godfrey? I was never a bully – that I know of.
And I identify with Wonderbutt!
I’ll pass these along to my grandson if he runs into a bully this year at school.
And he can say he learned these tricks from geese haha!
love these- reminds me of my childhood (just kidding)
Yes, but they are just like kids!
I know–the scenes looks like me and my brothers and sister when we were kids
Awesome!
🙂
So humans are not the only bullies in the world………..good to know
Oh the bird antics have taught me a lot! I am just glad I’m not one of Godfrey’s gang!
Honestly, you have such a gift for describing and showing these characters. I’ve grown quite fond of them – and laugh? Oh, my. I’ve known a bully or two in my life, and I must say – the behavior is quite similar, cross-species!
The geese are remarkably similar to children in a playground – it amazes me. It’s 8.30pm here and I just heard them squabbling again!
He he he… they are so funny and so lovely… and you are amazing because these are so beautiful photographs, I loved them all. Thank you dear Julie, love, nia
