Summary

   There are dozens of wild turkeys in wooden areas around New York City. They walk across the street bravely, frighten children, snatch snacks, breed planted shrubs or garden vegetables, and mess up around the area. An old woman shows the evidence to rake up their feathers and droppings, and the weight is 112 ponds. Residents complain the situation to the state. The state has tried to prevent hatching so far, but it does not work well. The hunting period is very limited, and during the period, turkeys make their nest and lay eggs. Residents and the state officers sometimes can find the eggs around shrubs, but they notice that most of the eggs have already hatched out. Some residents love the animals even though they mess up around the town because they can feel that they are on farm when they see the flocks of turkeys from the window. According to a survey of 775 houses in affected area, 61% of residents see the flocks of turkeys in daily basis, 57% of them fear the turkeys' sudden appearance while they drive, and about half of them clean their dropping up everyday.
