A new art and nature video for kids from Wonderland Spectacle Co.<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When a family of wild turkeys visited our backyard in Greater Boston, we wondered how the birds came to live in the city. To find the answer, come along with us as we visit Jim Cardoza of MassWildlife, who led the effort to restore wild turkeys to Massachusetts in the 1970s after they had been gone for more than 100 years. We tell the history with puppets. Then we head back to the city to see a turkey that frequents a Somerville doughnut shop (and gets in disputes with police) and a family of turkeys roosting in a tall oak for the night.<\/p>\n
