Wild turkey terrorizes DC

A wild turkey is attacking people near the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail in Washington D.C., leading several government agencies, including the National Park Service, the Washington Department of Energy and Environment, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to join the hunt for the fowl presence.

The 3½-foot tall male turkey has a blue head and neck, pink flaps on its chin, black breast feathers, and a large bronze fanned tail. The bird has attacked more than a dozen bikers and hikers in the city, several of whom needed tetanus shots and urgent care, according to the Wall Street Journal.
