Wild Turkey Crashes Through Window Of Wis. Home

Quote:
MISHICOT, Wis. -- A Wisconsin woman and her 5-year-old daughter got a fowl visitor when an unwelcome wild turkey crashed through a bedroom window.

Heidi Herrera said she was watching television with her daughter Thursday when the bird quickly charged into the living room of their home in the eastern Wisconsin town of Mishicot. Herrera got her daughter and their pet Chihuahua to safety in another bedroom. The mother then ventured out and found the turkey in the kitchen.

from the article:Wildlife biologist Aaron Buchholz of the state Department of Natural Resources said turkeys can't see windows and the bird probably thought it could fly through the bedroom when it crashed through the window.


Now I'm not trying to argue with a wildlife biologist here, but there could well be another explanation. It's mating season. These birds are extremely aggressive right now. It is quite likely that he saw his reflection in the window, and, thinking it was another bird, "attacked it."

I have seen this several times around here, where they attack a shiny bumper on a parked car, because they are reflected in it. They are not exactly the most intelligent creature on this planet!
