Recently I was away for one week and left my garden to the elements.  Little did I realise the scrub turkeys would be fighting on my front porch for the rights to my house and garden (security cameras tell the story).
So while I was away they played havoc in my garden -= kicking out plants in pots; sleeping on one hanging basket; scratching around a tray of small plants and eating my bulbs!
I do have some answers given to me by a gardening friend though:
*  Use stones as a mulch on top of the pots and
* the use of a fishing wire barrier to the front porch railings.
 
Remember if anyone has ideas please tell us all!!

Thank you for a very interesting letter.   Re:  Poor old Bush Turkeys –   I remember a segment on the ABC  Gardening  Programme quite a few years ago now, when I believe it was an ABC Staff member, showing
viewers through his garden in West End and when he was asked about Turkey problems, he said that he had installed a watering system which was activated by movement and the turkeys definitely didn’t like that, so kept well away!   May be that might help others.   Regards, Elizabeth G.
