A turkey (not Kevin) made safe in a pen in Boston. (Jenna Fisher/Patch)WOBURN, MA — A local turkey who is the leader of a gang of aggressive birds made international news this week. Kevin, the lone male in a pack of five turkey in Woburn, has gained a reputation as one of the most aggressive in the state. The UK-based Guardian newspaper profiled Kevin and his buddies in a story timed for Thanksgiving. "People in Woburn, north-west of Boston, have been subjected to a barrage of attacks and intimidation by a group of five wild turkeys, with the situation forcing some to take up improvised weapons and residents reporting being trapped in their homes," the report said.
