COLUMBIA, SC. (THECOUNT) — Tina the Turkey, the bird that captured a south Columbia neighborhood’s attention, was killed Friday after being struck by a vehicle.
According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, Tina the Turkey was hit by a vehicle Friday morning. Social media posts suggest Tina’s body had been removed by 9 a.m.
Tina – who was a male, despite the traditionally female name – first came to people’s notice when he was seen wandering around Chapel Hill Road and Forum Boulevard in early 2018. He was known to chase down cars and show up uninvited on people’s porches. source
At one point, Tina’s traffic disruptions led conservation officials to consider relocating him. Some in the community resisted the idea, saying they’d gotten used to Tina’s presence and worrying he might end up in the sights of a hunter.
