It looks as if the Massachusetts mailman who went postal over being constantly plagued by wild turkeys along his route isn't alone. A mail carrier in New Jersey actually dialed emergency after his truck was surrounded by wild turkeys who seemed to want a piece of him.
Responding officer Tom Smith of the Hillsdale Police Department handled the situation by sounding the sirens on his police car, which scared the birds off. It remains to be seen whether the mailman — like his Massachusetts counterpart who walks with a stick to keep the turkeys away from him — will graduate to a stronger method of defense. Maybe traveling with stuffing and a convection oven would work? Via Arbroath
