Wild turkey almost killed me when I was a teen a whole 5th when you weigh in at 130lbs is Alcohol poisoning for sure.
What the turkey didn't do my dad did to me the next morning.

One of our younger relatives had a close call with a flock of wild turkeys while on his road bicycle.
He was hauling “oats” down hill when a flock of wild turkies flew across the road in front off him. He got tipped by a couple of wings and had one graze his back.
The local wild turkeys get very restless and do kamizaze stuff in the spring time. He will be riding his suv to and from work this spring.

A friend was nearly killed last year when a Turkey buzzard hit him full on in the face while riding.
He was approaching some road kill being picked over by a pair of buzzards. A van going the opposite way spooked the birds and one caught in the slip stream of the van ended up hitting my friend who was going about 50.
The buzzard didn’t make it. My friend was bleeding all over his face. He kept control of the bike but does not remember stopping or how he managed after being hit. He had on a helmet.
A doctor in our office helps to write DOT specs for helmets and said he was lucky to be alive. A full face helmet would have killed him he said.
A reminder to other bikers from my doctor buddy. After any impact involving your helmet is the time to trash it. The foam inside will deform making it not as effective for the next crash.
