Turkeys: traditional holiday roast, mean-ass motherfuckers. Turkey attacks are apparently quite common: wild turkey populations are on the rise, with around 3 million of them in the US. According to experts, birds that "get accustomed to suburban life apparently start to see people as other turkeys" and naturally defend their turf.
Should you have the misfortune to happen upon a vicious turkey, here are some tips gleaned from the videos below: sticks are a good defense. Mailmen are not, as turkeys are known to "have something against the US Postal Service." Hide in your car. Do not taunt them. Try to appear less like a rival turkey. If you're dealing with a group of turkeys — called a rafter, a gang, or, less formally, a gobble — well, good luck.
