IN THE EVENT OF A TURKEY ATTACK, CALL THE POLICE!

They might look silly, but a belligerent turkey is no joke. Male turkeys work very hard to impress other turkeys, and what could be more impressive than attacking a bigger animal? Turkey behavior experts advise those who find themselves in close quarters with the big birds to call the police if things get mean. Until the authorities arrive, they say, your best bet is to make yourself as big and imposing as you possibly can.

• Aggressive turkeys in Rocky River, Ohio halted mail delivery, temporarily. “The carriers are carrying an air horn to see if that will scare off the turkeys, if that will discourage them,” a spokesperson for the post office said. Here’s the video:

• A gang of turkeys caused the elderly of Stamford, Connecticut to hide indoors. The aggressive turkeys would pick fights amongst each other, then turn on the residents!
• A turkey drop kicked a woman in Foxboro, Massachusetts. She fended the rest of the turkeys off with the help of a neighbor. Here’s the video:

• One woman had to threaten a turkey with a shovel to protect her child. One person called them “a menace to the town.”

• Domestic terrorism in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Turkey attacking people in SUVs. A fearless turkey attacked a police car in Mount Vernon, Pennsylvania. His name is Stu and he gets aggressive when he sees his reflection.
