In my neighborhood, sometimes you can see the turkeys walking down the middle of the street through the entire block like a gang that runs the neighborhood.
So it's illegal to hunt them? Cop "Sir I'm going to have to fine you for killing that turkey" "Officer, it walked in my house, to the kitchen, and right in my oven at 450 degrees with butter and seasoning."
They go to safety areas like small cities. They are not even indigenous to Oregon. Stupid asses brought them here to shoot and eat but they are breeding way, way more than nowadays and staying in areas that you cannot shoot them.
Poor people in the Third World can't believe the kind of things Americans complain about. "Food is everywhere! I can't step outside without running into a walking feast for 8!"
Yes. An African I worked with couldn't believe the amount of deer population. She said it is called "bush meat" and it is very expensive in African. These animals are viewed as food not pests in other countries.

@@jagriv5659 Exactly! For complex reasons, the African continent is the last hold out for a lot of megafauna.

Carefully thought out management and coexistence, not industrial scale hunting and exploitation in the traditional capitalist way are the only solutions to ensure a future for the remaining stocks of wild fauna in Africa and elsewhere.
"The turkey is the truly noble bird. Native American, source of subsistence of our original settlers, an incredibly brave fellow who will not flinch at attacking a regiment of Englishmen, single handedly!" Benjamin Franklin from the musical 1776.
Not a Pretty bird. Ben Franklin was right though. It should have been our National Symbol. One bird can feed many people. The feathers were used as Ink Pens/Quills. Wild Turkey's are actually quite smart. And the main reason...... No other bird in USA can turn Red, White and Blue in a matter of seconds like a Turkey can. There are next to no feathers down the front of their neck. Their head and neck can be blood red when angry. Turn light or dark blue or white when afraid. A pretty incredible animal I think.
I have alot of wild turkeys in my area. XD There territorial. But there friendly as long you don't go around them. There's also other wild life in my area. The wild turkeys predators are bobcats,bears,snakes, Sometimes wolves and sometimes eagles.
not exactly. they're all over Barrington (Camden County NJ) and NO ONE feeds them - people know about them. I was stopped at a traffic light in the line of traffic one day, as a tom turkey and a hen were on someone's front lawn near the street. The tom, (this is unbelieveable) marched out to the front of my car and starting PECKING at my car! He wouldn't move! I honked and honked and finally had to put the car in park, get out, chase the darn thing away, while people (who were watching this ridiculousness) waited in line for the light. Yes, the birds are idiots, and no, you don't have to be feeding them for those daffy creatures to act stupid. In a neighboring town, this one tom routinely chased the FEDX and UPS guys, including, running down the street after the trucks pulled away. No one was feeding this idiot, he just moved in and took over the neighborhood until Animal Control took him away.
@Jessie Skes Believe me someone in this neighborhood is feeding them this is typical behavior. For one they are wild animals and wild animals in their true nature are afraid of humans so when they or not afraid of humans and they’re coming up to them that means someone has fed them and gained their trust. I live in New Hampshire out in the sticks and I have seen flocks of that when you walk up to them you can’t get close to them at all. I’ve seen other flocks of turkeys were people hade been feeding them and they’ll come up to you and eat out of your hand.
@@chuckcome2143 So true. We have a neighbor that feeds them and hundreds now roam our area. I make them afraid of me to keep them off my property. The follow the lady that feeds them and all I have to do is open my door and they run/fly away. They know what's up. Here next door in Maine btw.
Raccoons, feral cats, opossums, foxes, coyotes, skunks, wolves, lynxes/bobcats, weasels, hawks, owls, eagles, etc. can and will kill & consume wild turkeys when given the possibility. They're not entirely immune to predators solely because of their defensive attitude every now and then. Also, living in an urban environment does not exempt them from getting eaten by carnivorous animals.
@@sparky3845 I guess the fact that there are many of them in a flock protects them from being attacked, no single animal can handle the whole bunch of them.
@@theresenydahl9531 That's safety in numbers! More turkeys in a flock increase their chances of survival. Not one lone predator can take on a bunch at once, that is, unless they get picked off one by one...until they're all gone. All done!
They crap like dogs and fight and eat all the food supply that little birds can't compete. I hate them now since my neighbor has enticed hundreds to live in our area.
i have them in my yard. they hurt nothing. also have deer, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, coyote and a bear once in awhile. glad they come around. i like to see them all.
I used to live in an area with wild turkeys while I worked security at the entrance to a gated community. I'd see a huge flock of them lining up by the side of the road, right at the crosswalk. So, on a hunch, I walked out in the middle of the road and did My impression of a crossing guard (even though no cars were coming). Sure enough, they all marched across single file. They must have been on their way to school! 😆😆😆
I feed a group of wild turkeys everyday in my neighborhood and they’re harmless. They are beautiful and come up to me because they recognize my face.I love when they come out!
I always see wild turkeys during the fall. When I was coming home there were some on the mountain on the roads in Boyers, pa. Before I used to live near an active train line in NJ I would see them all the time on the tracks crossing them to get to the woods or the river banks.
If the economy ever shuts down that's all there is to eat. Just because you don't need them today doesn't mean you won't need them in the near future. Count your blessings.
They shit all over one's yard. Come clean mine up. There are over 50+ now and they love my large lawn to tyr and rest and breed on. I cannot shoot them in city limits. You really don't know what pests they are until they multiply like crazy and shit all over and you have to clean their shit daily off my lawn and sidewalk. Then one day you step in their greasy shit and almost fall. I have done that twice since their shit is also watery and you cannot scoop that up. I have a corner lot less than 1/7 of an acre including the area where my house is.
Sheer idiocy, fearmonger vs. meek nature. I just heard your Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey as your national bird. Up here in Canada we live with wild turkeys, amicably, no problems. Just fence off your gardens.
I figured it out. There are so many turkeys because they can read. Your town name is Toms River and male turkeys are known as a tom turkeys. Of course they are attracted to that town.....LMAO
I get a flock of about 20 that goes through my yard everyday on their route through the neighborhood. I enjoy wildlife but I'm sick and tired of the turkey crap they leave behind. I hear if one falls prey to a predator in your yard the rest won't come back. I'm considering it.
Turkey's hanging in a group looking for food, is a problem for humans as we humans are such Saints. Just feed the poor turkeys and learn to co exist for once in your life
some gated communities in Florida are overrun with turkey and deer cause of no predators.In Massachusetts i never scene a turkey in the 70s but by the 90s they were a nuisance.tough bird.
I think the turkeys were doing a turkey protest about like “no eating our kind” on thanksgiving 😂🤣

They are easy to deal with as long as you have something to bash them with.
