Wild turkeys roaming the Westborough neighborhood Photo credit: Alex Cheung

 

When our South City neighbor, Alex Cheung, sent us this photo of wild turkeys roaming Westborough we just couldn’t believe it and shared it on our social media ‘Wild turkeys in #SSF? Has anyone else ever witnessed such a thing in South City?’ With over 200 likes and more than 25 shares we knew this wasn’t a common occurrence. However our Westborough neighbor had said they did contact SSFPD on the non-emergency line and was told the turkeys were a nuisance leaving him to believe he was not the first to take note of them here in SSF. Below are some fun comments from other neighbors:

Rich Madrid shares his photo of Mr Turkey strutting down Lux a week ago!

SSFPD announced this on their FB page 4.25.2017: Intruder Alert! A wayward turkey has made its way inside the police station garage. Aside from marking its territory on some of the vehicles, the turkey seems more interested in joining the K9 Unit. Maybe one day…
SPCA has been notified so the turkey will soon have proper care and environment
