Turkey in Charlestown

Why is it crossing the road?

A concerned citizen filed a 311 report today to alert the city there was a turkey at Nearen Row and Tremont Street in Charlestown.

At least the one in Charlestown isn't camped out on the green line tracks: they occasionally block green line B in Brighton, as well as green line C in Brookline.

They’ve been crossing back and forth on American Legion. The trio I’ve been seeing over the past few weeks are adorable

The Tom

There are over 300 turkey sightings in Boston every year. Most of these turkeys live in a one-square-mile neighborhood called Charlestown.

Turkey, pigeon, sparrow.... just normal avian residents.

I understand the lulz.

People whose first response to seeing an animal is to call the city to get rid of it disturb me.

Animal Care & Control does not handle native animal complaints.This is like calling them because a bat got into your kitchen.

Flattening a squirrel or a pigeon isn’t fun. (Giving you the benefit of the doubt here).

But when you fatally injure a big animal like a turkey, you may end up with nightmares.
