    As far as the turkeys go not being able to find food, well here it is all wild animals are born with something called instinct, of which to find food, find a mate, and survive. And yeah depending on where the animal is in the food chain would essentially determine its quality of life : Prey. Vs predator, but let's look at what happens when people feed wildlife, # 1 that animal becomes dependent on man for food ( and I'm not talking about foraging under the tree for berries) and than lose the ability to find the food on there own, and now we have a situation where people have been feeding them cause " they feel sorry" for animals that are engineered to be in the wild and fend for themselves, when in the grand picture have just given the animal a death sentence, whether it is a dangerous animal that gets shot for coming to scavenge, or a turkey that is used to being fed, and can't remember or figure out how to get food for itself. So at the end of the day, I wouldn't really say it's MWF's fault completely, and my challenge for everyone would be " if you can do it better than go ahead and try" the birds will be fine. "

    How they may not survive the winter even with their "instinct". Same for all animals?

    Same for all animals, if they don't learn, or become dependent on outside interference ie people they will starve to death, example when they released free willy they whale they had to teach him how to hunt for several months prior. Because he didn't know how, and this is an animal with a greater brain than anyone in the human race.
