Wild Turkeys In The City | Wonderland Spectacle Co.

When a family of wild turkeys visited our backyard in Greater Boston, we wondered how the birds came to live in the city. To find the answer, come along with us as we visit Jim Cardoza of MassWildlife, who led the effort to restore wild turkeys to Massachusetts after they had been gone for more than 100 years.

Wonderland Spectacle Co. produces videos and parades and festivals and all sorts of spectacles. Lead artists Kari Percival and Greg Cook hand-paint fabric banners, fashion masks out of poster board, craft puppets out of twigs and cardboard, paint murals, make fun videos, and inspire volunteers to join them in community spectacles big and tiny. And they teach others how to do these things too in their how-to workshops. Kari and Greg aim to speak up for those who have no voices and create parades that tell stories, question injustice, celebrate wonder, and advocate for all living things on earth.
