I think they were here first

@ KN. What a stupid comment !!!!!
I fully agree that they should be put back in the wild.
It will be much better for them too.

You'd think that if they wanted to be in the wild, that they'd go there. I personally like seeing them; I just walk around them. And KN, I liked your comment; not sure if you were serious or trying to be funny or both.

Nandrew,
We are not living in a zoo. Of course it is pleasant to see them. However, I like the idea that the poor animals should live in their natural habitat. Don’t you agree ?

Hello and thank you for reporting this issue to the Cambridge Animal Control. The Cambridge turkeys you see are born here and are from here. As people took over more of the wildlife space turkeys, and many other wildlife creatures, had to adapt to their new home. They have done so very successfully and are now residents. It is Massachusetts law that wildlife cannot be relocated. The turkeys do fall under the jurisdiction of The Department of Fish and Wildlife and Animal Control does not get involved with the turkeys unless they are sick or injured. For conflict issues with the turkeys, we recommend reaching out to The Department of Fish and Wildlife or for more information you can visit the states website at https://www.mass.gov/info-details/prevent-conflicts-with-turkeys . Hope this helps.
