t urkeys threaten quiet New Jersey town
In Toms River, NJ, wild turkeys are acting like it’s their town; they saunter
around in large groups, ignoring traffc lights and irate drivers’ horns.
In fact, if they catch sight of themselves in a shiny bumper, they go into
attack mode, which defnitely doesn’t endear them to motorists, and
neither does their use of shiny sports cars to perch on. They squawk in
people’s yards for food and, if there’s no reaction, they peck on the doors
and windows to hurry things up. However, it must be said that they don’t
attack people or harm domestic pets. One resident thinks they have their
fair share of Jersey attitude: “They’re kind of don’t-mess-with-me birds,” he
said, as several dozen of them strolled across his lawn.
