We let them roam around, and they don't bother us. Given the chance, the omnivorous birds will feed on salamanders and endangered red-legged frogs, California quail eggs, and the acorns that other native species depend upon, Dell'Osso said. Removing the turkeys from Tomales proved somewhat difficult. Residents tried the Marin Humane Society, but that organization deals only with domestic animals. Their calls were directed next to Tim Colt, a Pacifica exterminator with no apparent interest in taking on the birds.
People call all the time.
I've gotten about six calls in the last week. Hunting pressure and harassing pressure. How you do that in a town, I don't know. Someone apparently does. Four of the Tomales turkeys have recently strutted in front of oncoming traffic, and the town's turkey population has abruptly dropped by four.
