I actually hit a wild turkey this morning. It slammed into my windshield, then flew over my car and actually hit the car in back of me. Too bad the car in back of me was a cop car. He put his lights on and pulled me over…FOR FLIPPING HIM THE BIRD!!!
It is an unfortunate accident, but on the other hand I think it is great that the wild turkey (the bird) is coming back to the northeast. It was practically unknown for many years. In New York, in about 1864 the turkey became for all intents and purposes, not resident in New York. In 1959 there were approximately 2000 of the birds in New York – in 1990 there were approximately 65,000!
We should put this one up there with the
“Croc” story…..wonder when the owner of that bird will be sued….Look out, Connecticut! I’m sure they will be crying “fowl” soon! (UGH!!!…I know, kinda bad, huh?)

so if not the chicken crossing the road, he paid the turkey to fly across the road for a distraction.
would have been a better, although misleading headline
……..speaking of Wild Turkey–It goes great straight up or on the rocks!!

Good for nature – bad for the Greyhound driver.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly…
Wild turkeys can fly up to 55 mph!!!
SFO–I loved it, as bad as it was.
Yep, wild turkeys can fly, it’s the domesticated ones that can’t. wild turkeys are also very timid and very difficult to hunt.
anyone ever eat wild turkey? I’d be interested in what kind of taste difference there is compared to a domesticated one.
Thanks Joe Mama! That was the best laugh I’ve had from IJ comments!
