One of my neighbors is having the problem of aggressive turkeys showing up every time food is put outside for the squirrels. Do you know of a way to feed squirrels and not attract too many turkeys?

Only thought that I have come up with would be squirrel feeders that have a baffle the turkeys cannot reach through.
After a while the turkeys should move on looking for a better source.
Or the turkeys will destroy the feeder (like how racoons destroy mine).
The smart@$$ in me wants to say "post pictures of Thanksgiving feasts near the feeder" but that would probably be wrong...

Put the food out of reach, closer to man made structure or places they won't go (like up on a deck), move the feeding area altogether until they get the point and leave...
Put it on pole feeders and put the squirrel baffle (large plastic thing that prevents squirrels from climbing the pole) Home Depot sells them but then you need to put the poles near a fence or deck that the squirrels can climb and get to the feeders.
Yeah, maybe some obstacles that squirrels can move through quickly but that a large turkey could not, like a lattice with large spaces... I also saw this recently and am wondering if it's likely to work well, https://www.etsy.com/listing/2115964...op_home_feat_1
