Turkey Crashes Through Window, Turns on Sink, Floods Room, Is Careless
When Nancy Page walked into her Rhode Island home last week and found water pouring from the ceiling, she assumed a pipe had burst. No, Nancy. It was a wild turkey who did that to your house.
After noticing the water, Page quickly walked to her upstairs bathroom to investigate the flooding’s source.
“The door was open and I rounded the corner and there was a turkey— sitting on my vanity,” she told WLNE.
The bird had apparently flown through Page’s window, landed on her sink, and somehow turned on the faucet, which ran for hours.
Upon seeing the turkey and the chaotic scene it’d created, Page slammed the door shut and called 911.
“My emergency was water gushing through the ceiling... and a turkey in my bathroom,” Page told WLNE. “[The dispatcher] said what? And I said it again and said this really is true.”
Despite thousands of dollars in damage to her home, Page has remained cheerful about the ordeal.
“Everybody has gotten a really good laugh out of this because it is so comical. No one was hurt so we’re real thankful for that,” she said.
As for the turkey’s fate, there have been conflicting reports: The Associated Press says that police captured the bird and released it later, while WLNE claims the fowl required “little prodding” before standing up and flying off on its own.
