After months of turkey attacks on mail carriers, one USPS worker is under investigation for killing an aggressive bird, wildlife officials say.
For months, mail carriers in the Sacramento County enclave of Arden-Arcade have been terrorized by wild turkeys, at times disrupting deliveries.
Foy declined to say what kind of violation could be involved but said the department had not issued a citation as of Thursday evening.“Our job is to determine what exactly happened and then we fill out a report,” he said. “We might send it to the district attorney and the district attorney decides whether or not a crime has been committed.”
So far, the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s investigation into the incident has revealed strange details about the area’s turkeys and their behavior and treatment. The turkeys seem to have been targeting delivery workers in the neighborhood since October, when the postal service began reporting the situation to wildlife officials. Foy said the attacks had also disrupted deliveries from FedEx, UPS and other carriers.
Over 80 animals, including dogs and cats, were rescued after a neighbor called with concerns. Investigators also found dead cats.
