If you can sit through the Six Flags ad, this video is great. It makes me miss our Urbana turkeys who chased me a number of times with no ill intent that I could discern. I think they were just flocking with me. Here they are in all their glory stampeding through a neighbor's backyard:

It was so much fun to have them around. There were about four of them, two roosters and two hens. They were totally unafraid of people and came right up to you. I think because they are so big and they follow everybody people think they're dangerous, but I think they were just following their flocking instinct -- also sometimes people gave them bread. But the city got so many complaints that they rounded up the males and moved them out to a farm.
