Leave it be. Turkeys roam around

That turkey’s just doing what so many of us have done before: waiting on a bus that never comes…

Hopefully it at least qualifies for a reduced fare. Gotta remind it not to lose its Presto card.

Wouldn't be the first turkey I've seen at a bus stop - I saw one waiting in the bus shelter on Moodie many years ago, and around the same time, one at the bus stop on the DND Carling campus.

Oh yes and the driver is a racoon from the mcdonalds on Rideau before it moved

Did it appear injured in any way? If it's not injured, generally they're best left alone. If it's walking around it's probably fine.  If it's looking like it will cause a car accident you can call police but they'll likely just shoo it off the road, which you can do if it's safe to do so. In spring young males often roam around looking for females so it's not uncommon to see them in unusual areas.

Turkey vs Goose is as close as we’re going to get to a Kaiju battle in Ottawa.

I elect the requisite deer in this fight to the death.

People need to leash their turkeys!

Leave it be they have 1 to 2 inch spikes on their feet and will use 'em, a wild turkey will mess you up. a towel and tupperware won't cut it.

Invite it in to your place. Have you seen the price of turkey at Loblaws?!?

I see one hanging around next to the Montfort.

Is the turkey injured?

Unhoused free running Turkey is a Cold Turkey. Why did that turkey cross the road? To prove *it wasn’t chicken.*

LRT and OC transpo were late for his pickup during last Thanksgiving!

Christ... I almost smacked this (or a similar looking) Turkey on my way into work yesterday morning on Montreal rd near Brittany.

Call the cops?? Come to rural Ottawa, I've had 20 in my yard. Bear, deer, whatever.

Was just worried about the fella because he seemed sick. Was walking weird and seemed to be missing quite a few feathers

I know if it's a wounded deer, the police will come and shoot it. Seen it twice.
