Wild turkeys have been reported terrorizing the area’s residents and visitors alike in recent weeks. Birds have chased after box trucks, pecked at vehicle tires, and run up and down the streets gobbling their heads off. But the mail carriers seem to get the worst of it, as one local who once had to fight a turkey off a different carrier’s back told news station KCRA3. Growing beyond 20 pounds with sharp, 2-inch spurs, a mature male turkey can inflict some serious damage if it’s after you.
