BROOKLINE (CBS) – Neighbors are on the offensive in Brookline after what some residents are describing as aggressive turkeys.

“They were attacking the vehicle,” Karen Halvorson said outside her home in the Aspinwall Hill neighborhood.

After getting in her truck, a neighbor came and ran the birds off but it didn’t stop there.

“Then, the turkeys came and started attacking my front door,” she said.

1. Isn't this a retaliatory attack for the massacre a couple of weeks ago?

I hate it when the media picks sides in a conflict.

4. Don't underestimate the Newton turkeys

The ones up by the Cabot school are vicious.

They should rumble with the Brookline turkeys sometime. The coyotes living between the turkey gangs could play some sort of role...

6. This could lead to an all-poultry version of "West Side Story".

9. Leonard Bernstein grew up in Newton

Perhaps the turkey terror was the inspiration for West Side Story?

11. Turkey Gangs?

I guess I've been living in town too long.

"Turkey Gangs," reminds me of "Animal Farm."

5. I guess no one thought of calling animal control? They could relocate the birds somewhere.

Some body or one of those birds is going to get seriously hurt. Maybe even the zoo? Or a woodland park?

10. Mass animal control is rather laid back

After seeing a few coyotes during my nighttime walks, I looked up Mass policies. They're pretty funny. Let's just say they're somewhat different than what I imagine that Texas does...
