GREELEY — They’re out there, blocking traffic, invading front porches, hiking the banks of the South Platte and the Cache La Poudre rivers in Greeley.

Wild turkeys. Maybe wild and crazy turkeys, judging from their recent behavior.

Early Wednesday morning, two turkeys stopped traffic along Fifth Street in east Greeley, challenging drivers and sometimes blocking the road as people drove to work.

At the Department of Wildlife, Officer Brandon Muller said there are thousands of turkeys along the South Platte and Cache La Poudre rivers in northeastern Colorado.
