Video: Turkeys Harass Mail Carrier In Massachusetts
FALMOUTH, Mass. (CBS) — A postal worker in Cape Cod says he gets harassed daily by hostile company of the winged variety.
Video posted by the Cape Cod Wave earlier in December shows five agitated turkeys harassing a mail carrier. He has armed himself with a pole to keep the birds at bay and, at on point in the video, says this sort of thing happens every day.
The video has more than 1 million views on YouTube.
Apparently this isn't anything new in the area. The Cape Cod Times published a story about the exploding wild turkey population. Turkeys have been stopping traffic and even "posing" for photographs by amused residents.
Back here in California, turkeys are making the news for a good reason. A Foster Farms turkey from the Sonora area was recently pardoned by President Obama at the White House.
