So she did something to help the turkeys, and ended up
regretting it. There's certainly nothing new about that
type situation.

Yes it is, and even though we haven't seen it pointed out yet
there were almost surely some sort of "ar" freaks involved with
how extreme things became.

That all makes perfect sense. I'd been expecting to read about
how they were trashing people's gardens, but waking people up is
even more annoying and harder to stop.

Duh. They just left, and even though all those other neighbors
wanted to think they were the turkey's friends, we see by the end
result that the only place in the area they wanted to roost was in
Osborne's trees. If the neighborhood wants some wild turkeys,
they should hatch some eggs and someone should raise the birds
in the hopes that they'll stick around, providing them with a safe
dependable roosting area where no one cares if they start calling
at 4 a.m.

Post is most likely a supporter of PeTA at least, and maybe more
extreme "ar" organizations as well. Osborne is lucky Post didn't
spray paint her house, or burn her vehicle, or get someone else
to do it for her...
