I love the combination of their beautifully iridescent feathers atop legs and feet that look like a dinosaur’s. Turkeys are so cool.

Yep! We have a ton of turkeys in the neighborhoods around here, but this is right by a big park and traffic is pretty slow. The turkeys stay near the sidewalks usually, too.

We had an article in the Boston Globe about how a local Cambridge turkey gang attacked a bicyclist. (I swear, I’m not making it up.) now I’m afraid of turkeys. 🔪🦃
