Turkey smashes through Apple Valley family's window, sits on couch


--snip--
It's pretty much universally accepted that turkeys are colossally stupid. We can now also confirm not only this, but also that they're also pretty damn tough.

Or, at least one of them, namely the bird that flew into Kathy Ganzer's house -- the hard way.

Ganzer wasn't home on the evening of September 7, but her neighbors filled her in on what they think happened.

Four wild turkeys were hanging around in Ganzer's neighborhood, which is apparently quite the hot spot for these feathered idiots. Something must've spooked the birds, because three of them shot right out of the yard and into a tree.

The fourth went the wrong way, crashing right through Grazer's double pane window and into her den.

3. Turkey will never be admitted to the EU if it keeps up aggressive BS like this!
Oh, wait - this was an actual bird? Neeeeever mind....

5. They are very wary around here. I've tried for years to get a good photo
of the wild turkeys in the national park here. Thanks for the story!

6. We had a fox burst in through a screen door a couple nights after my dad passed away.
Blew right through the family room and back into the bedroom where my stuff was. We all sat there looking at each other going "What the...?"

Had to get animal control out late on a Sunday night to get him out of there. Weird.
