Wild turkey terrorizing neighbors in Coon Rapids

Neighbors in a Coon Rapids mobile home park are battling with a bird. They say the lone turkey appeared in their park around Thanksgiving of 2021 and hasn't left since, becoming more aggressive as the months go on.

1, 000, 000 years of human evolution just to be afraid of a turkey

"You can't even have a barbecue..." Ha-ha, I beg to differ. The barbecue is staring you right in the face.

I have a great solution. And it includes a free dinner for your family and friends.

Death is falling from the skies in ukraine but no one can handle a forkin turkey here in the usa?

Find somebody that has a chicken coop and pay them to catch the turkey, then take him home.
Turkeys and chickens will live together peacefully.
If he is approaching everyone aggressively, it won't be very difficult to catch him.
I would do it for you, but I live in Seattle.

We had a turkey try and pull this in our neighborhood. The neighbor shot it. It was out of season; so we all turned a blind eye to that.

Wild turkeys are pretty effing big and they can fly.

That is one gangster turkey!
He is just there, unbothered in the background ready to be interviewed and tell his side of the story 😂

That turkey would be cooking in my oven if I lived near it

[DustonWard]

LOL! I can't! "It rode to Chipotle with me one time." OMG. Y'all left that in the story just for the laughs for sure.

As someone who has raised turkeys, this is laughable. It’s a TURKEY! They can’t cause any serious harm to a human. If they want to pay me to go to MN, I’ll happily catch it and take it away for them.

I’ll bring my bow and arrows next time I’m out there 😊with a turkey tag 🏷️

He just wants some love. I feel sad for the turkey. He's freezing. Buy a dog house and put a warm blanket and food in there for him. You are being inhuman.

[foxfriendzanimaltown]

Oh I'm almost positive that sometime somewhere, someone has been feeding it, enough to teach it to make a nuisance out of itself, it may be approaching people for handouts but then chickens out and decides to scratch, it might also be missing a lost mate, now apart of some Christmas dinner!

Put some gloves on and pick it up. Show it you are not afraid of it. It is clearly begging for human interaction.

Where I live, we just get out the ole gun and shoot it and cook it up for dinner. In my neighborhood we have to fight off carjackers, armed robbers, gun fights and shoot outs, armed rapists and kidnappers and thugs who want to break into your house. And these folks are afraid of a turkey? I’m cracking up laughing.

Love to see turkeys kicking humans out!

[Kittykatkits]

Come on people, that's free meat.

Your not alone I have the same problem with one big male turkey here in massachusetts. Sometimes I can't get in my house after a long day at work. I have had it with this bird.
