First there were just a few, but for months, a flock of almost two dozen turkeys have taken roost at the NASA Ames Center in Mountain View, making a mess and even disrupting flights at the nearby Moffett Federal Field.

And while the scientists and staff at the NASA center are used to keeping their eyes skyward, as they contribute to space missions of all kinds, the earthbound problem has proven to be difficult to solve. Wild turkeys have been pecking at cars and windows, blocking traffic, leaving droppings around buildings and HVAC equipment and posing a threat to aircraft operations.
