... and I live in the city limits of Pittsburgh. It wasn't as large or as beautiful as this bird in the photo, but it was the largest bird I've seen on my street. There are a lot of trees and empty city lots around here, so I can understand why a wild bird would want to set down here for a spell.
Two unfortunate things about my street: a lot of dogs live around me, and drivers are always exceeding the 25-mph speed limit. This bird was walking right on the road, quickly but he'd never be able outrun my dog. I had to hold the dog back on the leash with all my strength.
On second that, the bird I saw this morning might have been a pheasant rather than a wild turkey. His tail wasn't open so it's hard to know for sure. I don't hunt, but I could tell it was a large game bird.
