The Coffee House

Turkeys are mean. Our city has tons of them roaming around. They harass the joggers, block driveways and cause traffic when they sloooooowly walk across the street single file. Recently a jogger was being attacked by this one turkey that hangs out near the cemetery. A passing motorist had to pull over and go after the turkey with a snowbrush to rescue the woman.

Sounds like the Peacocks we had to contend with when I lived on the peninsula. Terrible bird. PS- What's a snowbrush?

My uncle tells this story about being attacked by a goose:

"I was at a local park where there was a large flock of Canadian geese milling around, begging for scraps and pulling on grass. One came near to the bench where I was sitting, and I extended an arm towards it. Suddenly the wings opened wide and it charged me. Before I knew it, his wings were beating me in the face, the beak was stabbing around my head and neck, and it was all I could do to try to grab that goose to throw him off of me. Every time I put my hands on the body, it got wilder and the beating more intense. So there I was - fighting for my life, I'm thinking! - when a woman walks by and bellows: "YOU LET GO OF THAT GOOSE, YOU PERVERT!"

The loud voice distracted the goose and I was able to shove him away and stand up. The woman shot a disgusted look at me and kept going. I went home with goose crap and feathers all over me."

I should be allowed to hit "funny" and "agree". This is my formal complaint.

A lot of typing could be saved by a flip off button as well.

I've heard that there was a gang problem in some areas of the country

I love these stories on geese and birds.

He must have been "it" a lot when the kids played "Duck, Duck, Goose". LOL

Have you got the Piranha Brothers there. Spiny Norman might be behind this.

Don't forget about the turkey that chased the cop. I remember seeing that on the news last summer.

Man, y'all must be doing something wrong. I never had any problems with turkeys or geese, and there are a LOT of both of them around here. We've got turkeys all over the woods here, and geese love my campus as well. The only time I ever had an issue was if I got too close to a nest, and even then, all I got was a hiss. I hissed back.

Past week or so a flock of Wild Turkeys has taken up residence on our property. Every morning when Sadie and I do our walk, we can hear the occasional chirp of the hens and the unmistakable gobble of the Tom, as he rounds them up and moves them out of our range.

Sorry, but the capitalization of Wild Turkeys made me imagine your lawn scattered with empties

Good night y'all and have a great Wednesday.

Well we have a lovely sunny day here, so out with the X-T20 and XC 50-230mm and try to find some swans and other things to try and take a photo of

That 50-230 is such a hidden gem. It’s perfect for outdoor nature/animal shots and even fast enough for sports action. Enjoy your outing!
