‘Aggressive’ Turkeys 'Terrorize' Man Trying to Leave His House & People Are Cracking Up

Don't mess with turkeys. That's the lesson we learned after watching some wild turkeys patrol a suburban neighborhood. These birds weren't messing around! They were actually sort of aggressive. They even blocked one man from leaving his driveway, which had one woman cracking up.

All the man wanted was to leave the driveway. But the turkeys had other plans. Nuh uh. No one was leaving the house that day.

We've heard of guard dogs. We've heard of the neighborhood watch. But we've never heard of super aggressive turkeys who walk the block and monitor the streets.

The woman couldn't stop laughing when she saw that the car couldn't get out of the driveway. The turkeys wouldn't allow it! What's their beef with cars?

"There's turkeys in my front yard and Mike has been going in and out, in and out," the woman explained in the clip. "The stupid turkeys. They're attacking his cars."

Poor guy. We hope he's not running late. We'd hate to have to explain we're not on time because a bunch of turkeys were holding us captive.

People in the comments section were cracking up too. "You know, it’s pretty ballsy for them to act up like that at this time of year," teased one person. "They are like 'We’d like to talk to you about your dinner choices next week,'" someone else kidded. "It’s been three days and Mike is still driving around the neighborhood being chased by the turkeys!!" joked a third person. "I need his POV. I can only imagine the words being yelled in that car," chimed in someone else.

Wild Turkeys Can Be Aggressive

While most of us are thinking about the turkey on our Thanksgiving table, turkeys in the wild are no joke. They aren't just pesky to drivers, they can be dangerous if you don't give them their space.

Wild turkeys will try to dominate or attack people that they see as subordinate to them. They also get really huffy around shiny things — things like windows or even cars. This behavior mostly happens during breeding season.

Turkeys will peck, follow, or try and intimidate people that they're attacking. Male turkeys will puff out their chests, fan their tail feathers, strut while they're gobbling, and have special vocalizations. Again, this is mostly during breeding season or when turkeys are establishing social dominance.

If you see a wild turkey out and about, it's best to leave them alone. You don't want to end up like poor Mike here. Rumor has it he's still pulling in and out of the driveway to this very day....
