The funny thing is that he was all gobble, no peck. A neighbor pulled up in her truck and explained to me that he was the pet of a woman who lived a few properties down. Because he was in the roadway, she shooed him away. He literally turned tail and ran back through the fence like a scared kitten. With his feathers folded up, he wasn't nearly as imposing looking. Sort of like a peacock.
