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.
FYI
If you don't think that's funny....get the h*** out of here!
Are you kidding, they are good food! Just ask Ted Nugent!
ROFL!!!!!!
I'll put you on the ping list now.
Turkeys can be territorial and possessive, all birds can. SIL used to have a tame rooster that walked him to and from the school bus, on the other side of SIL from the dog. ;-D
I had a domestic turkey (a tom) corner me against a fence- I tried to shoo it away with my baseball hat- in a nanosecond that turkey jumped up, knocked the hat out of my hand and commenced to stomping on it- after relieving itself on it he sauntered off---sheesh!
What on earth are you talking about???!!!
just another #@##**&# rooster story
Turkey? Looks like she's just bein' bit by a Louisiana mosquito....
about your proctologist....GIT R DONE
Oh yeah. Tom makes a good Thanksgiving meal......;)
Now that's insulting to the turkey.
I'm sorry...I hate to use the word...but you're an IDIOT. I fully got the Bruce Vilanch joke and I was commenting on a t-shirt he wore on "Hollywood Squares" once that cracked me up. If you would freakin' READ THE POSY you would have seen I was talking about his T-SHIRT!!!
jeez...you are wound TOO TIGHT!!!!
I remember that show! My roommate and I laughed so hard we were blowing beer out our nostrils!

Maybe he just didn't like your hat!
That's my kind of Wild Turkey.
Why's it on the news instead of the dinner table?
"Sharyn Newell, however, has befriended the bird and trained him to climb up her back and onto her head."
Obviously, this young Tom has no FATHER at HOME teaching him how to BE a Turkey.
I say we throw a zillion dollars at this, fund a government study with no accountablity whatsoever for end results and put an end to Fatherless Latch Key Turkeys!
Or, just kill and eat them all. ;)
Those dogs are just too ugly.
