Turkeys Make Fuller Avenue Yard a Regular Stop

What brings them around remains a mystery.


Wild turkeys call on the O'Briens once a week.

Gene O'Brien says he has no idea what brings the birds to their Fuller Avenue yard. 

He did see one of the crew eating red berries on a holly bush.

And a few days ago they appeared to be playing in the yard, jumping around and spreading their wings,  Gene said. 

The turkeys typically hang out at the O'Briens for a while then strut across the street and disappear into a neighbor's yard.
