OMG! These people are sooooo ridiculous! We have over 100 wild turkeys where we live and nobody thinks anything about it. They don't "terrorize" people. City people! Ugh!
This is what happens when you place a 50,000 person development in the heart of overall poor wildlife habitat where everyone has a lawn, a bird feeder, and pooled water in the form of retention basins and even buckets, etc. that tend to fill with easily available water....The lawn is edible, the lawn supports populations of insects which turkeys love, and their is safety in and around the homes from predation and hunting is assured. Of course, the community is outraged at these birds, yet the community has created essentially a "Welfare" population of birds that probably could not survive in their current population quantity without the community. It has provided the ideal scenario for overpopulation to occur which will ultimately probably create disease within the very population it helps support. I am dismayed that so many will complain, yet if I were to knock on someone's door and ask for permission to legally hunt behind one of these homes, the homeowner would probably call the Berkeley Twp. police merely because "some man asked to hunt behind my house". That is the state of affairs in N.J. today. All I can say is that lawful hunting could easily keep this population in some type of reasonable check. You may not like hunting, so be it. But, do you instead like the turkeys roosting on your roof plucking your expensive roof shingles off? Or pecking your vehicles, or homes? Or, pecking you? These turkeys instead will be rocket netted and relocated somewhere else away from the daily buffet they've come to expect where they will probably not even be capable of surviving because they've lost the "wild" in Wild Turkey. Lawful sport hunting would permit the birds' populations to be kept reasonable and healthy and the birds that are killed to be used and enjoyed by the many people who love to eat them. And yet, I would bet no one in the community would ever give a legal and ethical hunter a chance to hunt there for fear of criticism from their neighbors or the "Holiday City" Homeowners Assoc.
God i wish i could have this problem in my neighborhood
The turkeys are just protesting.
Antifa is getting stranger and stranger!
These turkeys didn’t want to be thanksgiving food
That's why they're terrorizing?
Oh we got turkey gang wars now?! Pulling up!

I wouldn't say they terrorize anybody but our cat, but they do love to shit everywhere :(
Totally agree I was surprised hearing some people tho they didn’t seem to worry too much it was more the media beating it up lol

MOOOOVVEE! They were there before that development was built.

Come turkey hunting season you won't see a feather or beak anywhere.
Had there been a law allowing these birds to be eaten, this would not have been an issue
Why all of a sudden we're hearing about wild turkeys in the month of November. They were wild last couple months? Or were they...🤔
They were around. They just wanted to do a funny story for Thanksgiving I think. The turkeys are massive assholes tho XD
It's just Turkey you bunch of crybabies. They are not pit bulls
I’m going to get a six pack now 🦃 🥃
Opening and closing an umbrella? My AR says different
