Spotting wild game in Montreal… is no longer a wild turkey chase

Wild turkeys have become a common sight in Montreal, with their population thriving due to urban expansion providing ample food and shelter. The increase in wild turkey sightings points to broader trends in urban wildlife adaptations. Residents are now encouraged to coexist with these birds, understanding their behavior and ensuring safety. Although the wild turkeys can be a nuisance at times, wildlife experts suggest that they play a significant role in the ecosystem, and their presence reflects the city's changing landscape.
