Thanks to deenagee for sending the update this morning. First spotted on 14th Street then later we had reports from 16th Street – clearly we’ve got a pattern. OK, until we see a rafter of them I think we are safe. Keep in mind, if you don’t bother the giant Turkey, the giant Turkey won’t bother you. Having said that for the safety of your pets, I’d have them on a short leash just in case s/he’s super hungry. Be safe all.

Ed. Note: I’ll make this preface once today – April 1st is not a recognized holiday on PoPville – all posts are like any other day – just our regular dose of insanity/awesomeness, no pranks needed.
Thanks to Nima for sending:
“Any reason as to why there is a giant wild turkey/bird/peacock walking around 14th street this morning?”

You know Turkeys get a pretty bad rap besides Thanksgiving and all. I’m glad to see this homeowner celebrating the majesty of the great bird that we call the turkey.
