The new urban scourge: turkeys - November 22, 2007

“There was a case where I live [on Boston's North Shore] where some turkeys marched up onto a front porch and essentially kept a number of elderly women confined. They were afraid to go out.” So says bird expert Chris Leahy of the Massachusetts Audubon Society in National Geographic’s piece on the comeback of wild turkeys, now thriving in urban America. This wins our ‘thanksgiving story of the year’ competition.
