Question: It's Thanksgiving Day, and you're a turkey. What do you do?

Answer: Look for sanctuary on a neighbor's roof, counting on the fact that everyone in town is indoors watching the Cowboys game.

There's always one laggard ("wait for me! wait for me!"):

I think they're safe (from hungry humans, anyway).

These remind me of the turkey vultures that gather in a very similar fashion around our local Hueston Woods State Park's main clubhouse. It's a good view for them, and the chimney keeps them warm, so they huddle real close to that in the winter. The fumes make the ones closest a bit woozy, though, and every once in a while, one passes out and falls down the chimney... I'm told that the noise is... well, I'm not sure there's an adequate description of that...

Patti, that's a hilarious mental picture, although I suppose the unfortunate turkey doesn't find it so funny. I also don't imagine the fragrance in the clubhouse is enhanced when that happens.l
