Wild turkeys are becoming militant ahead of spring gobbler season in my neck of the woods too:
Biker survives collision with turkey

A motorcyclist broke six ribs and a shoulder blade yesterday when a wild turkey flew into him, knocking him off his bike, according to police and the man’s family.
It was on interstate 77, between Ripley WV and Charleston WV about 1995 or so.
A trucker was motoring down the interstate with a full trailer and apparently had his windows open.
A turkey came gliding across the highway, through the side window and into the driver. He lost control, flipped the truck and died in the accident. Imagine having to explain to grandchildren that their grandpa was murdered by a turkey.
