Spotted the #LongfellowTurkeys on 46th Ave today, they are at least 15 strong in numbers with Toms showing off to mate for the season now they'll be especially active. #ChaosAgents #Minneapolis #Birds

#LongfellowTurkeys #ChaosAgents #Minneapolis #Birds #UrbanTurkeys These are the real gangs of #Minneapolis

I still like to think about the #LongfellowTurkeys causing chaos on their caravans of hate. #ChaosAgents #TheOccupation

I wonder how Waymo would manage being surrounded by the #LongfellowTurkeys...#ChaosAgents

Young turkeys walking up the sidewalk, stopping to eat. Jaywalking afterward.

Local #gang members paid a visit to my street casing the place #chaosAgents #LongfellowTurkeys #birds #Minneapolis

There was one of the #LongfellowTurkeys causing havoc standing smack dab in the middle of the Minnehaha & 38th Street intersection this morning. People were honking but #ChaosAgent Turkey didn't care. The most dangerous gang in #Minneapolis.

Beware the #LongfellowTurkeys, they're everywhere!

It looks like the #LongfellowTurkey is just taking a rest under the prairie planting in the boulevard but they are really laying in wait, spying on me. #ChaosAgents

What looks like a large urban wild turkey with black/brown feathers, sun glunting off them, red head and neck, just chilling on the mulch woodchips in the boulevard next to the sidewalk, but really this #LongfellowTurkey is plotting, spying on me #ChaosAgent

#LongfellowTurkey looks like it is nestled and resting in boulevard planting but its a ruse, it is part of the larger gang of #ChaosAgents, stay vigilant.

An urban turkey in the shadow of a city tree, resting on the sidewalk...or is it? Always be aware around the #LongfellowTurkeys: #ChaosAgents

I've said before the #LongfellowTurkeys follow me on my #MorningWalks. Since I haven't been able to get out for those lately they came to me across the street to spy on me. #ChaosAgents #Birds

Your #Minneapolis moment of zen, just a couple of #LongfellowTurkeys chilling out on the sidewalk & boulevard. #Birds

Maybe the #LongfellowTurkeys removed the signs!! #ChaosAgents

Someone really needs to set up a camera at 46th & 46th in #Minneapolis to really get a good idea of the havoc the #LongfellowTurkeys cause. I'm surprised there hasn't been a massive pileup the way drivers behave there, they almost killing people (Pedestrians & Bicyclists. #ChaosAgents #UrbanWildlife

Truly #ChaosAgents! We have our very own #LongfellowTurkeys gang. You have to be very careful passing them, to borrow from Elmer Fudd

I have been wearing an N95 mask on my walks since 2020. The #LongfellowTurkeys leave a LOT of skat to negotiate. There is also a very large flock of #LongfellowGeese that make Minnehaha Academy fields & the Railroad tracks their landing spots, and spots to poo. COVID is airborne outside too.

Y'all I warned you. Those #LongfellowTurkeys are cute, but their skat is EVERYWHERE. If you're walking outside in #Minneapolis near flocks of Geese or #UrbanTurkeys, Ducks even, or raise Chickens, feed wild #Birds, #WearAMask when near them, their droppings, when changing feeders. #BirdFlue

Several urban wild turkeys perched on the top of a wood slat fence above a snowy ground next to a brick house, tree in the yard behind them

#LongfellowTurkeys just chilling out on a fence during #MorningWalk in #Minneapolis #mnwx #birds 🦃

Today I saw the #LongfellowTurkeys frolicking with multiple #Squirrels under a bird feeder. Given this study about #H5N1 spreading via infected feces what happens if it is transmitted to squirrels next? If cats can get it it seems pretty plausible. When will it be time to pull in Bird Feeders #Sqrls

This is what an abundance of turkey skat covering a sidewalk and part of the street underneath a large oak tree with a signpost and fire hydrant in the middle of the sidewalk.

This is what an abundance of turkey skat covering a sidewalk and part of the street underneath a large oak tree with a signpost and fire hydrant in the middle of the sidewalk. Sidewalk next to curved street, nice residential homes to the right. Cloudy sky above.

Given recent reports that #H5N1 aka Bird Flu virus can spread via air from skat of #birds, this HUGE pile of turkey skat from the #LongfellowTurkeys underneath their Oak Tree roost is a pretty big danger. #Minneapolis #AvianFlu #WearAMask

As someone who walks by a giant gang of turkeys in #Minneapolis, including their piles of scat below their roosting tree, I'm very glad I always wear my N95 on all walks. #LongfellowTurkeys

OK #Minneapolis #Bluesky, why has no one here posted #FrozenPants pictures? Do I have to pull one of my pairs out and stick them in my front yard? I feel like this is a uniquely #Northeast thing and would be out of place in #Longfellow, the #LongfellowTurkeys may attack #mnwx

Your #Minneapolis moment of zen/chaos brought to you by the #LongfellowTurkeys #birds

It was really quiet on #MorningWalk today. I am really at a loss what all this scare mongering about the cold is all about, it was gorgeous outside in #Minneapolis. Warm parka, wool layers, cold sun felt great on my face (with sunscreen). The #LongfellowTurkeys were just chilling too.

Surprise attack from urban turkeys at Minnehaha Park, coming out of the fog walking along grassy area amongst trees

Gang of urban turkeys gathered on lawn in front of light brick apartment building with 'for rent' sign posted

Turkey standing in entryway of apartment building, up 2 concrete steps surrounded by white rought iron trying to get in to rent an apartment for the gang

Turkeys are VERY messy - sidewalk completely covered with turkey scat. Fun fact: male scat is J-shaped, female scat is spiral-shaped

They emerged from the fog and shocked me, as chaos agents are wont to do, on the way to join the rest of the gang trying to rent an apartment at 46th & 46th. You dont want them moving in, they are very messy neighbours. #LongfellowTurkeys #Minneapolis

Urban turkeys perched atop a wooden picket fence and hanging out below a bird feeder in a front garden with a large pine tree in background

Urban turkeys gathered on a lawn covered with snow in front of a turqoise house, obviously plotting their next move to create chaos.

Gangs of #Minneapolis wreaking havoc again #LongfellowTurkeys #MorningWalk #Birds

Conclusion of #LongfellowTurkeys saga as the stupid turkey who forgot it could fly, as it rejoined the gang so they could all return to being their usual chaos agent selves. The end.

Part II of #LongfellowTurkeys saga during #MorningWalk, the turkey FINALLY figured out I opened the gate and ran out down the street. #Minneapolis

In today's episode of #LongfellowTurkeys in #Minneapolis, the gang may be big, but they are definitely NOT smart. Turkey pacing back & forth inside fence, I opened gate, it went to other side of yard.

Your #Minneapolis moment of zen from the gang of #LongfellowTurkeys

Stragglers of the #LongfellowTurkeys gang blocking traffic crossing 46th st in, the bus honking at them slowed them but they started right back after it passed #Minneapolis. #UrbanTurkeys

Chaos agents #LongfellowTurkeys wreaking havoc on 46th street in #Minneapolis this morning. Going the wrong way in the turn lane. They don't care. Slowed down a few drivers to speed limit though. #UrbanTurkeys

Then the #LongfellowTurkeys flew down to the grassy knoll and started a formation. I got out of there quickly. You don't mess with a gang of turkeys, especially the day before #Thanksgiving, I am pretty sure they know something is up. 🦃🪶 #Minneapolis #MorningWalk
