South End alleys swarming with wild turkeys

If you happen to be one of the few and the proud that are able to legally park a vehicle in a public alley in the South End, beware. Of late, a new entry into the neighborhood's urban ecosystem has famously been seen stealthily, if not curiously, gobbling through its idyllic backstreets.

This evening my spouse was exercising her pedestrian rights along her evening commute when she happend to spot a wild turkey casually strolling through the back alley behind our home. Thankfully, she was able to fend off the prehistoric avian beast and even managed to photo-document it in its natural environment.

This is all to say, when you go for your car door--key in hand--make sure to watch for beaks, and wattles.

I will urge my spouse to do her due diligence and report the harrowing encounter to the authorities.
