Look out! They're gonna charge!

I was stopped at the side of a road looking for the Eurasian Tree Sparrow (eventually found it, btw) and there, up ahead on the shoulder of the road was a...what's the word for a group of turkey? I'll call it a gizmo. There was a gizmo of turkeys charging. I tell you, if I weren't safe in a car and just about to drive away, I could have been gored mercilessly.

This series of photos almost makes me want to take up birding.
Almost because we don't have many shorebirds around Helsinki - even the oystercatchers have to hang around on the lawns with pheasants.
You can't fool me. This is a still from "Birds on a Beach" the sequel to "Snakes on a Plane".
Right? Right?
Looks more like Reservoir Birds to me. You know? The segment at the start when they introduce the characters.
Bob - Maybe it's "Band of Birds" - the Home Bird Office series about World War 2?
