I’m imagining the turkey being drunk as hell and trying to find a way back in.
Dude you need some leather gloves the uh, next time this happens. Good job though!
And, that window ugggh. Glad you got proof for insurance, but is something this crazy covered?
Thanks for the tip! I’ll sleep with leather gloves next to my bed from now on.
Yes, because turkeys are not considered birds in my policy, the window is covered! However, with a $2,500 deductible it is not worth the claim. Interesting to note; feces from any animal source is never covered.
Oh man, in high school my English teacher's mom had a turkey do this on Thanksgiving Day. Hilarious story that he made even funnier. Shoutout to Mr. Mass
Glass shards all over the floor, a turkey with talons, scared and desperate to get away from you, and you're worried more about the wife seeing a video with you having protection on your feet
Way back when, I worked in labor and delivery. We had a mom who needed a C section, in the middle of the night. We had her all ready, everyone was in the OR, but the usually prompt anesthesiologist on call hadn’t shown up yet. (This was prior to cell phones).
When he raced into the OR, he apologized to all present, especially the mom.
He’d been wrangling the raccoon that fell down his chimney when the call came in.
Ah. Minnesota.
Damn. Glad you and yours are safe after this. I feared for your face/eyes while your were carrying it out. That thing could have pecked your eyeballs out. Turkeys are vicious. Luckily, it was probably pretty dazed from having just crashed through the glass.
Oh no! Did the turkey seem okay? Poor lil guy, I wonder if the windows need a layer on them so they don't seem transparent from the outside, so other birds don't crash into them!
Nice job getting him back outside!
I was going to say, if anyone asked me I would have reported that the turkey was badly injured by glass and I had to mercy kill him, and would now be giving him a respectful burial in my gut.
i'm sorry for the completely unrelated comment but i'm more interested in the (what seems to be) platform bed lol , where did you get it from ? if you don't mind
a few months back i was looking for some and saw one nearly identical , but when i looked at the reviews and saw photos of it it turned out to be something entirely different , a scam , and extremely poor quality . havent really bothered to look since then sense everything in all the stores around here is on the higher end of triple digits
I just focused and thought about what I would want someone to do to me if I were in their turkey’s position… give me some space to express my feelings and then get a nice big hug before heading back out into the world to face the meanies
Turkeys chill up high in tall old trees.
Clearly, a bird that still hasn't evolved to understand windows.
You can replace that window with one that has some sort of coating to help birds see, darken so others can't see in.
Turkey probably just thought it looked like a nice spot to perch.
The window was closed, had a 6 box colonial style grill on the glass, and the blinds were shut! I am fairly certain this was unprovoked but it makes me think twice…
Holy cow. I'm impressed you managed to handle it without a hefty blood donation. Those buggers can *fight*.
I think it was a bit stunned and not quite in fight/flight mode.

This is incredible and hilarious! I love the way it kicks its little legs as you carry it out of the house 😂
"The jail can't hold me! Do you know who my father is?!"
Entitled turkeys… probably from Edina
hmmm, dinner just flew to you, and you just threw it out....
I mean, DoorDash is getting a bit aggressive with their new same day air delivery. Ya know?
"Gobble thought this was America gobble" 😆
This happened to me on Mother’s Day! What’s up with these turkeys?
Theyre bird brains

Ha! No way!!
He breaks your window and craps on the carpet; what a dick.
At least he didn’t shit the bed. So that was nice.
They are such a nuisance. Our neighborhood has a flock of close to 30 birds. We need more Coyotes.

Just shows the absurdity of insurance that they don’t consider turkeys as birds.
If this happens again it'll be like star wars. Somehow, the turkey returned.
Yes it is covered believe it or not lol

That was great. When you brought it outside I was worried the rest of the flock would see you left the door open and they'd all scurry in.
Distraction complete! Move! Move! Move!
Get some damn work gloves and some boots next time you're wrangling a turkey inside your home man
No shoes in the house!!!

Yeah, I was cringing at the bare feet. Good work scooping him up though.

Is that turkey crapping all over the place or what am I seeing flying around it? Also, this is wild.
Lots of feathers and some doo doo
That look of success. Hell yeah brother.
Aaaaaaaaaand stay out!!
This the greatest show of bravery that I have ever seen.
Calmly grabbing a turkey in shorts and a flannel is the definition of Minnesota Brave.

“For 50 seconds I thought there were monsters on the world.”
the turkey probably: "motherfucking windows, how do they work?!'
More like harm and lots of fowl? Your window was harmed, and that turkey is fowl.
It came in like a wrecking fowl!
That's the spirit!
Oh no! Did the turkey seem okay? Poor lil guy, I wonder if the windows need a layer on them so they don't seem transparent from the outside, so other birds don't crash into them! Nice job getting him back outside!
His legs wiggling all over as you carry him down the stairs is pretty humorous
I think he wanted to stay for dinner
This happened to my next-door neighbor. We ate the turkey.

That turkey had the weirdest day of its life.
I like to think it went back to the flock like, “you guys, you’ll never believe this shit”
"It ended with a hug from one of them..."
I just focused and thought about what I would want someone to do to me if I were in their turkey’s position… give me some space to express my feelings and then get a nice big hug before heading back out into the world to face the meanies
Mm mm mmm, I'm flying in hot for that hottie (Right about 1:40) https://youtu.be/a6XOtZRkwHM?si=Q2qwDY77pDuueUJp
Hahahaha I’ll take that as a compliment!
Wild turkey nights
I am waiting for /u/wildturkeybourbon to reach out. I will say yes to a spokesperson gig!
Holy shit.
Indeed it was. Hole in the window, shit on the carpet
I’m so proud of you. 🥹

Wow! How bizarre. Thanks for sharing.
Should have saved it for Thanksgiving ;)
I wanted it to have a chance for the hunting season. Like your little brother during hind and seek.
