Rosie, a celebrity turkey from Roosevelt Island, has ventured into Midtown East in search of a mate, resulting in significant chaos as the NYPD attempts to manage her escapades. After moving from her previous abode, she exhibited new behaviors, including singing love songs and exploring potential hotspots for romance. Unfortunately, the search has caused traffic disruptions and concerns from residents, including a call to 911. Despite police efforts, Rosie eludes capture, continuing her quest for companionship amid the hustle of the city.
"You get the idea that she's trying to make herself known to any other turkeys that might be out there. She wants to meet a male turkey," David Barrett, of Manhattan Bird Alert, told The Post Tuesday.
Rosie ditched her East River paradise Sunday for the first time since she moved to the island a year ago and immediately started showing major changes in her behavior.
Even before making the pilgrimage to Midtown, Rosie had been moving further south to check out other hotspots of Roosevelt Island she had never visited before in hopes of orchestrating a meet-cute.
At least 15 cops tried to pounce on the feathered phenom Tuesday morning on 58th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues, just a crow's fly away from her home on Roosevelt Island.
