Note to turkey: Seriously, dude, it's not a good time of year to be harassing the citizenry.

5. Those creatures are so whacked out

I lived where there was a large flock of them, several toms would roost in a tree in the back acre... they do fly. One morning I awoke to some racket outside so I got up to see what was going on. I went out on the porch to see about forty or fifty turkeys surrounding my car, all huddled up in a tight group. On the edges of the group were six or eight individuals cackling wildly while the rest sort of milled around nervously inside the huddle. The six toms were parading around the perimeter all puffed out, tails fanned. Every couple minutes two or three toms would approach the huddle and make some sharp gobbling noises and at that point the huddle would erupt into wild cackling and agitated milling about while remaining huddled. This went on for over an hour. I had never seen turkeys doing much of anything so this was a big new thing that I did not know about them.

It also confirms, for me, why they might be called turkeys.

11. We have several large wild turkeys around these parts.

One day last fall, I opened the door to my deck (which is a storey above ground) and there was one big one! I just said "Get off my deck, you turkey", then closed the door and watched. He looked at me through the glass and then flew up onto the roof.

Yes, wild turkeys CAN fly!

16. Yikes.

And they leave a bigger mess than geese do. Nasty. I also witnessed a young deer stand up and box a turkey. That was an entry in my Unusual Wildlife Interactions journal. I'm always around wildlife so I get to see some stuff.

The deer were raiding a bird feeder and those toms showed up to enjoy some of that. So there was a doe and two older fawns, it was late in the year, and four toms. The deer were taking up all the area so one tom decided he would reach between the hind legs of one fawn. The fawn objected a couple times where the tom just ran a few feet away and circled right back around and did it again. The fawn, at last, reared up and started whacking at the tome with its front hooves. Somehow, I never saw that coming!

17. As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly

From the classic show WKRP in Cincinnati, "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly":

18. A wee caveat:

Wild turkeys can fly; domestic, farm-raised turkeys, not so much!

9. i wonder if he's attracted to the mailman's old spice

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Obviously

Obviously someone has been feeding the turkey from their vehicle prior to this........

It is fun to feed the wildlife and people think they are being kind, but in reality, feeding any wildlife is bad for them.

10. Stu, the Pittsburgh area turkey.

There is one in Pittsburgh that stalks an intersection and pecks the tires of cars that stop at the 4 way stop signs. https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2018/01/30/mount-lebanon-wild-turkey-stu/ He even chased a police car.

12. The poor turkey just wanted to go home with him for Thanksgiving.

Even turkeys get the holiday blues.
