Does this also work with turkeys? My neighborhood is plagued with a growing group of about 20 turkeys that sleep in my pine trees right outside my bedroom. We are awakened every morning at sunrise (now about 5 am) by continuous loud cackling. A neighbor thinks it is the males and their mating calls. They peck at and poop on my lawn and the neighborhood kids can't walk to the bus stop alone because the group is so large and intimidating. A Few might be cute but a group of 20 moving through the neighborhood is like an invading army.

Has anyone had any luck repelling these things?

Owls are the natural enemy of the turkey, set up a decoy in the yard and get a call that sounds like an owl and you can at least locate them, then flush them out of the trees. Do this early in the evening, turkeys are not very smart so you may have to do this a few nights in a row, their eyesight is fantastic and they will not like you getting close to them, but they will not move in the roost so you will have to get creative. We hoot like an owl when scouting for turkeys before the season starts and they respond every time.
