Living With Wildlife

Enjoy Oregon’s Wildlife

As human population grows, people and wildlife often find themselves living in the same area. And, when wildlife habitat and food and water resources disappear, animals often look for food and nest sites in homes and garages.

Here are some general tips to avoid Turkey Damage:

• Don’t feed turkeys
• Keep bird feeder areas clean and remove feeders in the spring (plenty of natural foods are available for songbirds)
• Remove fallen fruit and nuts from your property
• Don’t scatter or deposit birdseed and/or cracked corn with the intent of attracting or feeding wild animals
• Share these tips with your neighbors – a community effort will be more effective in preventing conflicts with turkeys
