Attack Of The Killer Wisconsin Turkeys
Rather than rain or snow, or even dogs, postal workers in a West Side neighborhood near Owen Conservation Park are being pestered by wild turkeys this spring. Mara Wilhite, manager of the Hilldale Station Post Office, said she expected to deal with all manner of issues when she went to work for the U.S. Post Office. But that was not one of them. "Just when you thought you'd heard it all," she said.
About five to 10 of the birds have been pecking at the postal workers as they make their rounds, and some of the birds have attacked the letter carriers with the sharp spurs on their legs. One of the birds went through the open door of a mail truck and scratched the driver. Wilhite sought help in the matter from Eric Lobner, regional wildlife program supervisor for the state Department of Natural Resources. Lobner said the behavior is clearly tied to the breeding season, which started recently and runs through about mid-May.
I've got an idea, just shoot the bastards and throw 'em in the oven! Who says you gotta wait till Thanksgiving to enjoy a good turkey?
