Persistent Turkey Pursues Mailman

Occurred on July 23, 2021 / Madison, Wisconsin, USA

: "The turkey was chasing the mail truck down the entire street, and when the mail truck turned at the end of the road, the turkey followed, never getting tired. During mating season, male turkeys try to dominate each other and gain more relevance in front of the female turkeys. They do this by harassing other turkeys, scaring them away and attacking them. When they see humans or anything else wearing color red, that instinct to dominate and scare off is aroused and they attack. At that point they see no difference between the human and other male turkeys."
