A postal carrier who had his hip replaced after being attacked by a turkey in Cambridge last month says he plans to return to the same mail route after recovering.
Ed Mitchell, 49, who lives in Weymouth, has been working the same Cambridge route — plus or minus a few streets — for more than 20 years, and said he never had a significant issue with the local wildlife until last year, when a trio of aggressive turkeys appeared around Harvard Square, acting aggressively toward him and other carriers.
“They’re mean,” Mitchell said in a phone interview Sunday. “It’s only like three bad ones. I don’t know if something’s happened to them. Maybe one of them got killed by a mail truck.”
