Turkeys? Whaaaaa?
Turkeys have teeny-weeny brains, but they are still able to sense that the holiday season is upon them and seek revenge. You’ll need all your wits, strength, and speed if you encounter one of these big angry birds. So get out there and exercise!
Boston resident, attacked by turkeys, says, “Not Good.”
From Maine to Mexico, turkey encounters are on the rise. Some folks theorize that turkeys attack during mating season. Others think it’s because they see their reflections in shiny car bumpers. They peck, they scratch, they flap their wings. One thing is for sure, turkeys have a top speed of 20 mph, which makes them faster than many people.
