According to the state’s wildlife officials, there were about 1,000 birds in 1978. Today, the population is estimated between 30,000 and 35,000 birds.
State officials say wild turkeys are "an important natural resource in Massachusetts." They are classified as game birds in which hunting seasons have been established. Aynsley Floyd, a local filmmaker and photographer, is taking a look at the population boom in her latest documentary "Turkey Town," weighing the benefits and consequences of having the birds.
Wild turkeys have "black to blackish-bronze with white wing bars, blackish-brown tail feathers and a blueish-gray to red head," according to wildlife officials. Male wild turkeys are called "Toms" while females are called "hens." But they can be a bit of a nuisance.
