3/9/23 Don’t Feed the Fowl

9 March 2023 News


“Don’t feed the fowl,” that request from the Ripon Police Department about one of the city’s more famous and traffic-disrupting residents. Ripon Police posted a request on their Facebook page about “Johnny the Turkey.” They didn’t mention him by name referring to him as “our famous turkey resident!” What they did ask was that residents stop feeding or placing feed near the west side area. Police say all different kinds of items left for food on private property, and along the roadway in this area, are becoming an increasing problem. They also say it is unlawful to feed wildlife in this manner. Johnny the Turkey who has 1,300 followers on his Facebook page took the request in good humor sharing the Police Department’s request.
