[RP TownTalk] Big Birds and Rowdy Raccoons

[Sue Collins]

I can imagine what a mess that was! Did  your dogs react to the noise at all?  I've seen raccoons having a wild time around my apartments' dumpster, looking for food.  I love animals, but don't want to get too close to them, due to rabies concerns.  Hope YOUR "visitor" doesn't come back!

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)
