Per our conversation, I am requesting your <br />help with the problem 1 am having with wild turkeys. <br />We have app. 20 turkeys that invade our yard daily. We have been forced to take <br />in our bird feeders. My 92 year old mother who lives with us is saddened by this <br />and also fearful, as the turkeys aggressively peck at her windows to the point <br />they may break. She will not go into the yard because the turkeys have no fear <br />towards any of us. They are on our deck, as well as the roof, and four of them were at the <br />front door yesterday. When 1 opened the door they just stood there, <br />giving no indication they would move until they were satisfied I had no food. We <br />live on North Snelling, across the street from Lindeys Steakhouse. They stopped the traffic <br />for 4 or 5 minutes today, walking across the street and stopping as they <br />went. They have eaten my rhododendron bushes. They are dropping their waste on our <br />deck, front walk, steps and driveway. My husband has dementia and when <br />they are on the deck he doesn't want to go outside. I feel they have taken over our <br />yard and we can no longer enjoy it. <br />I spoke with Brian at the Area Wildlife DNR in Forest Lake, and he is willing to <br />issue a permit for the city which would allow us to rid ourselves of the turkeys <br />with the service of a registered archery instructor for the DNR who as agreed to harvest <br />them. <br />I look forward to your anticipated cooperation with this matter. Your prompt <br />attention is greatly appreciated. <br />Sincerely, � <br />Pat Heiman <br />3635 Snelling Ave N <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br />651-247-1383 cell <br />file:/n\metro-inet.us\ardenhills\Admin\Council\Agendas & Packet Information\2010\3-8-10 ... 3/4/2010 <br />
