SACRAMENTO -- After hearing neighbours’
stories of wild turkeys chasing down joggers and other residents in an Arden
area neighbourhood, News10 producer Duffy Kelly went out for a first-hand look.
Duffy said she "didn't want to take
the 'Terrible Tom' stories at face value," so on Thursday she went to the
neighbourhood and tried to walk past one of the birds.
Duffy had her camera rolling for her
unexpected turkey run.
Neighbours told Duffy the turkeys have been
in the area for years and usually scurry away when folks walk by. They
say only recently two turkeys broke off from the flock and are intent on
standing guard in their own empty lot.
Some people are carrying sticks to frighten
off the turkeys, but neighbours say they don't want any harm to come to them.
They just want friendlier neighbours.
