what is says on the tin. Despite myself having turned off all features in other mods related to animal aggression (enhanced ai animal module. Factioncraft being bugged with neutrals currently), the turkeys are just automatically mad when they're meant to be neutral. I can't even feed them to calm them down, they just rush me until I get out of their little madness range and keep a little distance.
and yes, I do have quite a few other mods....

turned out to be a bug related to enhanced ai making the turkey out to be hostile or something naturally. I had reported it over there but forget the specifics.
