A terrorizing turkey

The residents of a neighborhood in Minnesota are in a heated battle with a wild turkey. The residents said has been terrorizing the neighborhood, attacking people and chasing cars.

Emily Ahlsten, a resident of the neighborhood, said the neighbors have named the bird Reggie.

Raging Reggie is no longer welcome in the neighborhood. Neighbors said Reggie, is not afraid of people or of water. Reggie showed up in 2021 and some neighbors say they live in fear of Reggie!

The turkey has pecked at neighbors, even drawing blood. It has also chased cars and pecked at the tires. It has ridden on a truck all the way to a local fast-food joint.

The neighbors have called the Department of Natural Resources and 911 after the turkey wouldn’t let Gross leave her home for hours.

The DNR recommended taking down bird feeders, but the residents said they are still hoping the bird will trot somewhere else.

The DNR said to not let turkeys like Reggie intimidate you. It recommends scaring the birds, so they won’t settle in your neighborhood and not to feed them.
