ANN ARBOR, Mich. – A wandering turkey is causing a stir at the University of Michigan.
The Ann Arbor News reports (http://bit.ly/1LZfwWA ) the turkey on North Campus in Ann Arbor has captured the attention of students and staff, roaming wooded areas, chasing passers-by and getting in the way of bus traffic. It’s also showing up on social media in people’s selfies.
The school’s deputy police chief Melissa Overton says: “He hasn’t hurt anybody, but he’s a very aggressive bird” as well as a traffic hazard.
Police say they started receiving calls about the bird in late June. A second turkey on North Campus was fatally struck by a car.
Overton says plans call for capturing the turkey so it can be relocated. She warns people not to approach the bird and call police instead.
