Wandering Turkey Causes Stir at University of Michigan
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Jul 30, 2015, 2:07 PM ET
A wandering turkey is causing a stir at the University of Michigan.
The Ann Arbor News reports that a turkey has captured the attention of university students and staff as it roams wooded areas, chases passers-by and gets 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 getting 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 to instead call police.
