So funny! He's probably looking at his reflection in the car!

Older VWs were equipped with turkey-shooing devices.
Maybe it's time to bring them back.

my 71 Beetle was parked maybe ten meters away and never gets any Turkey love, so you may be onto something! Mine lacks the semaphores though....perhaps they have just learned to stay away from the old ones, perhaps they are angry over diesel-gate!

Some speculation on the Twitter that the turkey is pecking at its own reflection.

Maybe he called an Uber but can't reach the door handle.

That would explain the stance exhibited in the photo.

I can just hear his thoughts: "Come at me, bro!"

The ones at Boston Nature Center used to peck the tires after some idiots decided to feed them.

Perhaps the owner of the car ignored the folding chair the turkey had CLEARLY put there to save his space.
