turkeys

The only thing worse than being criticized is being ignored

We're talking, of course, about the Southie Turkey, which, in just a couple of months, has become the local avian Britney Spears: Nobody cares anymore and, frankly, some people just wish she would go away already. Jason chronicles her sad decline; all that's left is the inevitable trip to rehab.

"Oh look, there's the Southie turkey again."

Yawn.

Karma is so fowl

You know what's going to happen when you park your fool Cadillac in a crosswalk in the Longwood Medical Area? A turkey's going to jump on your car and peck at it mercilessly, as Tom Wheaton observed.

Good gravy: Turkey struts stuff in Southie

At first, it seemed like a wild goose chase as Jason ran around South Boston looking for the townie turkey:

... Walk up to E. 7th St, and I see a lady staring eastward at nothing in particular.

"Did you see the turkey?" I shouted?

"Yeah, it went down H St." ...

Nothing on H Street. But then he saw the crowd.

Why did the turkey hail a cab?

To get to the other side of town before police realized he'd set an Audi on fire.

Teddy Kokoros spotted this walking platter next to Storrow Drive near the Harvard Bridge this morning.

I, for one, would like to welcome our new turkey overlords

That's the Christian Science Church, people. With a turkey in front of it. And not on rye with mayo! Bendo1 recovered from the shock long enough a few days ago to take the photo.

Oh, how quickly we get jaded

Giant turkeys roaming Southie? Yawn. Jason reports the 11 bus had to come to an unexpected stop on Dorchester Street on Tuesday:

[W]e were halted for about 15 seconds by a giant wild turkey making its way across the street. I seem to recall half-standing up from my seat, and pointing at the turkey for all who cared to be roused from their ipods, which was likely nobody.

Turkeys in Roxbury

Third Decade reports spotting one on West Cottage Street between Dudley Street and Blue Hill Avenue today:

... I'm wondering, though, whether these birds are protected. Why can't residents go out and catch these birds? I mean, is it really all that different in theory from harvesting free-range chickens?

Now the turkeys are interbreeding with other species

Possible turkey/peacock hybrid spotted in Littleton; what happens when they start breeding with coyotes?

Turkeys even invade Southie
