The Revenge of the Turkey!!
Turkey Beats Up Dog
OBERLIN, Ohio (USA) — A small town 30 miles southwest of Cleveland was put on alert after residents began to complain about a mad turkey on the loose. More than 20 complaints poured in to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, including a woman's claim that the foul-tempered fowl pecked a fight with her dog.
She told reporters that she has begun carrying a stick to defend herself and her pooch from the feathered fiend.
The Oberlin Chronicle-Telegram reports that the wild turkey has been seen regularly over the past year and has been becoming bolder in approaching humans.
"My kids have enjoyed watching it,” said resident John H. Scofield, whose Bronco (pictured, above right) has been a favorite roosting spot for the urban bird. But he said his children, ages 2 and 5, avoid getting close to the turkey.
It has sharp talons, a school principal warned students.
This week, the Ohio Division of Wildlife sent out a squad to study and capture the beast, but they were unable to find it. Dan Kramer, a wildlife management supervisor, cautions, "As far as we know, it’s still out there."
Turkey Attempts to Rob Bank
PLAINFIELD, Conn. (USA) — Customers of the Jewett City Savings Bank were reportedly held at bay by a 20-pound turkey hen who was perhaps bent on perpetrating the world's first bank gobblery.
Not far from a local supermarket where shoppers were carting home her frozen cousins, the wild turkey caused quite a stir, reports the Hartford Courant:
"The Plainfield turkey chased one man around his car and came at a woman who threw her keys at the creature. It took several people to corral the feisty bird, a feat eventually accomplished by a highway employee who raises geese and chickens.
"The gobbling creature was last seen strutting toward Pachaug Forest, where she has earned the right to live in peace, and the respect of several bank customers."
Happy Thanksgiving feather. What's your plan today for dinner?
Let me elaborate on Sam's response to your post.
Amen and AMEN!
Happy Thanksgiving sweetie pie. Speaking of pie, as I look in my fridge I see I only have chocolate Reddi Whip. Now I wonder how that will go with my pumpkin pie. Yikes.
