$2,000 fine for feeding the birds


 Please stop feeding those wild turkeys! That may be the only humane way to deal with a foul flock of birds in Hainesport Township, New Jersey that seems to be getting increasingly aggressive.
“They come after my car all the time,” Melanie Morton told the Burlington County Times.
Morton said she even witnessed a wild turkey attacking a jogger one day. “It was terrifying,” Morton said.
Morton decided to investigate a little more; find out why the wild turkeys were hanging around her neighborhood. She claims a neighbor has been feeding them. So now the town is considering an ordinance to ban folks from feeding the birds. Violators would faces fines up to $2,000. More
