The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reportedly began receiving calls about turkey attacks on mail carriers in October 2021.
Officials advised against feeding the birds and suggested using tools such as an open umbrella to chase them away, the Bee reported.A coyote attacked a toddler in broad daylight and tried to drag her away before her father rescued her, according to security video and the family.
“By mid-October, it was evident that the birds were not responding to normal ‘shooing away’ and one of the mail carriers was injured on his hand,” the agency said in a report obtained by the Bee.Investigators, seen in videos shot by Foy, could walk right up to the turkeys, causing them to move away, but the birds were seen chasing a mail truck down the street, the Bee reported.
The Human-Wildlife Contact team then got permission to conduct an operation: kill up to four of the birds. But the wily birds escaped wildlife personnel. Two “capture operations in late October and early December were unsuccessful as the birds ran away from staff,” the report said.
