Woman Befriends Turkey (Pic)
First Coast News ^ | April 29, 2005

WOBURN, MA -- A wild turkey is causing problems for almost all the residents of a Woburn, Massachusetts neighborhood, but one woman is accepting him with open arms.

"Tom" turkey, who appears to weigh in at about 20 pounds, has been so fearsome that some residents are afraid to leave their homes.

Police have tried to run "Tom" off, but the turkey continues to return.

Sharyn Newell, however, has befriended the bird and trained him to climb up her back and onto her head.

She should try a pancake next time; it's easier on the neck.

It's Massachussetts - she could probably marry it.

Looks like the turkey is doing all the befriending. The woman is merely cowering.
