Wild turkey crashes through window at school

A fifth-grade class received an unexpected visitor today. Around noon today a wild turkey crashed into the window of a fifth-grade classroom at the Our Lady of Lourdes School, said school principal Carol Polito. "He literally flew through the window right from the outside. Thank God nobody was injured,” she said. “I think it’s just amazing that not only did the bird come flying through, but the noise it made; it was a very, very loud noise.” Technology Teacher Josh Marris was able to coax and walk the turkey outside of the building. He said the turkey didn’t appear to be hurt, although he did see red on the stairwell when he was taking the bird outside. “I heard the smash, the fifth-graders screamed,” he said. “They went screaming down the hall, some of them were holding the door shut." He then went in the room and began the process of coaxing the bird out. “We’ll remember this one for a very long time,” Polito said. The Observer-Dispatch.

I took some Wild Turkey to school once, and I crashed too.
