So, what is with the wild turkeys roaming around southern Urbana? Sunday evening, we found one in our backyard. Now, that turkey is obviously lost. In the newspaper Saturday, it said that they were trying to hunt down the turkeys and put them in a preserve, but whenever they look for them, they can’t find them. That’s pretty funny.

But you know what’s funnier? The sheer stupidity of these birds. They will cross the street right in front of cars and then just stand there, looking at the car. I saw a college student chasing and throwing sticks at a turkey, and then all of a sudden the turkey stopped and started charging at the student. All I have to say is, “Way to go turkeys!” Anyways, let’s hope they get rounded up soon before some drunk fraternity guy ends up in the hospital from a turkey attack.
