Hey,
always see these birds painted on houses or on beer mugs but never saw a real one before.... went in the back yard and the horses were interested in something near the barn.... figured it was the neighbor's cat......sucks that I didn't have a camera with me... This pic is from the internet.....
called an Auerhahn... Prolly compares to a turkey for you folks???

just not something you see everyday, especially in this area....

I was in a Gasthaus, near Hiedelberg, about 1966
which had several dozen stuffed ones in various
poses..Is it some kind of Partrige?

I don't know.... it was a big chicken size (RIR or leghorn.......??)

That looks like a cross between a pigeon, a pheasant and a turkey.

Its a dead ringer for a scream mask isn't it ? LOL,

I'm always seeing faces in things, firewood, smoke plumes etc., local brew pub had some old, but real oak panels, wood work on one of the upper floors, myself and some friends had a table up there, looked at the woodwork and saw the resemblance of Jesus in the grain, I'm like if this gets out it would make the news or something, went to show a waitress this some time later, can't recall how long, went to the spot and they painted the room over, probably to make it brighter, image was about at your knee, still there I am sure, what they painted over was beautiful wood too, probably to make it brighter, reserved room for meetings and such.
