Turkeys can be downright foul when they come across a human, which is why a Massachusetts town dogged by a rash of wild gobblers is doling out self-defense tips.<\/p>\n

Maybe the most important to remember if you live in Wenham, population 5,300: Don\u2019t be intimidated by an aggressive bird. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou should threaten or scare bold turkeys using a hose, a leashed dog or loud noises,\u201d animal control officer Steve Kavanaugh advised on the police department website, <\/a>sharing the wisdom of the state wildlife division. <\/p>\n

Not-so-pleasant toms on Pleasant Street spurred Kavanaugh to morph into the town Dear Abby. Statewide, the number of wild turkeys totals 35,000. <\/a> <\/p>\n

Kavanaugh\u2019s other words of wisdom:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Don\u2019t feed turkeys because feathers could fly if they grow tame and don\u2019t get dinner with all the trimmings.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clean out your bird feeder because toms love to nosh on seeds that fall to the ground. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep an eye on your garden because gobblers love their veggies.<\/p>\n

\u2022 And, finally, cover your windows and any shiny yard do-dads because turkeys are vain and like to admire their reflections. <\/p>\n

But Kavanaugh just may have left his best advice to his last sentence: Steer clear of wild turkeys altogether.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
