Last winter, a mail carrier was making deliveries in the Arden-Arcade neighborhood of Sacramento, California, when he was attacked by a "particularly aggressive" and "massive" male turkey.
The carrier, who was armed with some kind of stick, hit the turkey, killing it, California Department of Fish and Wildlife officials said.
There was reason to suspect that someone was feeding the neighborhood's wild turkeys, which began attacking drivers and disrupting deliveries from the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, Amazon, UPS and other carriers.
