Our celebrity turkey has now been featured in the local paper .. Sunday edition.. right on the cover of the connecticut section... he's been on the news a few times. He has now over 4100 fans on his " Fans of the Wethersfield Turkey " Facebook page.. more than double from a month ago... I thought I would swing by and get some more pictures of him last week... I got lucky and got pics and a bunch of videos I got some close-up video.. but this one .. shows him at his finest - he runs the town.. and he knows it.. some even have put up Kevin For Mayor signs on their front lawns! https://

he does seem kind of snobbish.. bet he lets his feathers down once in a while to chase mail trucks... and he gets back to his roots..

@minx267 I remember I saw the video, he was pretty angry against the mail carriers.

@minx267 I hope he doesn't end up getting hit. And he should really take cover at Christmas too. At least your Thanksgiving is over.

I thought I was gonna get a good close photo of a turkey vulture to show you yesterday but the sun through my windshield screwed up the autofocus and he flew before I could get it right...

he was probably wondering what the crazy lady with that camera was doing staring at him with this thing in front of her face for over half an hour!
