Brookline has a turkey problem!
I guess turkeys are all over the place right now! There’s even a video of some turkeys prancing around. This amuses me to no end.
I wish I had my camera when I saw those turkeys crossing Washington Street. Turkeys are really funny. And tasty, too! I could enjoy a turkey sandwich right now.
At least those turkeys didn’t really do much damage… Check out that article, about how a turkey smashed a window in Michigan!
And here’s some TURKEY TRIVIA, compiled from various places on the ‘net:
-Turkeys originated in North and Central America. Evidence shows that turkeys have been around for over 10 million years!
-Turkeys were considered a sacrificial bird in Mexico. Montezuma received 365000 turkeys a year from his subjects.
-Benjamin Franklin was unhappy with the choice of the bald eagle as the national symbo, because he wanted it to be the turkey! He said the turkey is a more respectable bird and a true original native of America.
-Wild turkeys can fly for short distances at up to 55 MPH. Domesticated turkeys cannot fly.
-The fleshy growth from the base of the beak, which is very long on male turkeys and hangs down over the beak, is called the snood.
