A solid kick would likely dissuade a turkey, but then you'd be on rather low moral ground for harming a relatively harmless bird. This turkey seems like quite the outlier, most birds just put on a show of hissing and flapping wings and it's sufficient to just walk away from them. Not to mention the risk that someone gets the incident on camera and posts it on Twitter, accusing you of animal cruelty.

- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> you'd be on rather low moral ground for harming a relatively harmless bird It's one the most threatening in that set of animals who are widely perceived to be too cute or helpless to physically assault. Sort of the inverse of city pigeons?

- mauvehaus 4y agoCan't speak for a male turkey, but roosters cannot be dissuaded with even a fairy robust application of boot. Source: had an aggressive rooster. He became soup after attacking a friend's visiting 6 year old kid.

In my cousin's defense, the goose was chasing a small child at the time. A solid kick gave him time to grab the kid and get him out of pecking range.
