[RP TownTalk] Big Brd

[Audrey Bragg]

A wild turkey is a pleasure next to what we had the other night.  Around 3 a.m. we awoke to scratching noises on the roof.  Simon went out with the flashlight and there he was.  A raccoon digging up our roof!  Simon shined the light on him, but he didn't even flinch.  Simon had to get the ladder and  go up  there with a  stick and threaten him.  I guess the wildlife feel very comfortable in the neighborhood.

Yes there is a wild turkey in the neighborhood.  He was hanging out at 48th and Sheridan and enjoying lots of birdseed.

OK, I've posted in the past about a rooster roaming around the Ravenswood Road area, also about the dreaded "chicken bags" on the railroad tracks.  Here's another question that's "for the birds!"
 
Does anyone in the Ravenswood area have peacocks or some other type of LARGE bird?  I put out some birdseed for the birds and a couple of times now over the past few weeks there's been a VERY large brown bird partaking of the birdseed. Haven't seen it fly, it just sort-of "strolls" around."  It's between 2 1/2- 3 feet tall.  Someone told me they thought it was a peacock, but to me it looks far too big for a peacock, looks almost like a wild turkey.  I certainly don't mind if Big Bird has a snack, but if it's someones' pet, I'd hate to see it get hurt if it's roaming around free.   (have tried to get a picture, but no luck)
