The Turkeys strike back!!
LOL. Gotta love wild turkeys who really don't seem to be afraid of anyone or anything.This is a hoot..
Make sure you watch the video...:rofl: Even the animal control people are amused...

Turkey Rampage in Virginia
The turkeys are watching you. They know what you're up to in a few weeks. And they're waiting. Plotting. Preparing their feathered onslaught. Thanksgiving is coming, and this time they're fighting back.

An angry family of turkeys that roosts in Landsdowne, Va., has taken to attacking commuters, reports the Loudoun Times. One of the turkeys has been running along the side of the busy road, scaring the snot out of confused commuters as it has chased them like a deranged, but feathered, dog.

Yesterday, it even went after the police

1. There is a flock of turkeys in the woods behind the building where I work
and they are always a source of amusement. Some of them chase cars, though we haven't seen any sitting ON cars yet. There is a chain link fence just past the parking lot, but there is a gap in it at one end, and one day a big boy turkey found himself on the side of the fence closest to the building and all the girl turkeys were on the other side of the fence. So the boy kept running back and forth along the fence, trying to get to the other side, apparently forgetting (a) where the gap in the fence was, and (b) that he was able to fly. A bunch of us were standing at the window watching this silly performance, and finally one of my co-workers ran downstairs, outside and across the parking lot and *yelled* at the turkey, which made him (the turkey) remember that he could fly, which he did; thus he was reunited with his girlfriends. They really are stupid birds.
