A pair of turkeys are causing a commuting mess in Wallingford.
The turkeys, nicknamed Fred and Ethel by some, and Burt and Ernie by others, are blocking traffic and chasing cars near the intersection of Route 150 and West Dayton Road just about every morning.
Jackie Thurston, who took video of the turkeys, said the pair are out every morning around 7:30 a.m.
Some drivers have been held up by the curious fowl.
“When you get close, they run away, that's all,” said Rocco Totino, who lives nearby.
Bob Cremin owns a six-acre farm on Route 150 and has seen the turkeys, too, but he says they've mostly stayed away from his farm.
“They're in the general area, but we don't have a problem with them, because we have so many animals, it seems to keep them away,” said Cremin.
Despite the slow going, drivers said the turkeys haven't caused any major traffic troubles.
