2. Wow!

That window had to have been hard to break - he had some power.

[Brother Buzz]

7. Or simply weight and inertia

Wild turkeys can fly, but they mostly dwell on the ground and are not know for being graceful/agile fliers.

12. probably saw his image in the glass and attacked it

and voila! he's inside.

11. They can do real damage

Front grill of my car was damaged by a flying turkey and the bird continued on its way.

13. Probably was pecking at his own reflection

We had one at work who was enchanted with the windows on our building. Until we came in one Monday morning and one of the panes had a shatter-pattern with an obvious point of impact a couple feet off the ground.
So, yeah, they can have some power when they decide to attack that other turkey in the window. I can understand the homeowners being reluctant to get within range.

6. I was waiting for the ...

wild turkey size turds that must come out of that thing.

8. I laughed when I saw all the cops milling around, filming him.

Some big help they were.

9. Just open the doors/windows and let him out. Why call the cops.

At least they didn't empty their guns into him.

10. Well, probably not, but it's not like a sparrow had flown down their chimney.

That was a big effing bird and he wasn't going anyplace. I'd be tempted to call 911, too, if I saw that thing strutting around on my couch.

14. The police report might help with the insurance.

Although that damage may not be worth the deductible these days.

16. I know! Just get a broom and herd him towards the door. No need for swat team
