Dog walkers "frightened" by rogue turkey

A rogue turkey has been removed from a National Trust estate in Norfolk after "frightening" dog walkers.

The full-grown male, which stands about 3ft (0.91m) tall, was discovered in the grounds of Felbrigg Hall, near Sheringham, on Monday.

The turkey stag tried to threaten dogs and their owners before it was captured on Tuesday.

"We think he had been dropped off on the estate in the night and was frightened," said ranger Ed Smith.

"A well-meaning person had probably reared him but he then got too much of a handful and they thought they would release him on some land."

I hope he finds his true love at the bird haven!

3 feet tall? That is a BIG bird. No wonder people were scared!! If I saw a 3 foot tall turkey, me and my dogs would head the other way as quickly as possible. I hope the big guy does okay though. He probably was scared being all alone in a weird area.
