A wild turkey smashed through a plate glass window at an empty western Pennsylvania restaurant and ended up where millions of its fellow gobblers did on Thanksgiving: a dining room.
Penn Hills police Officer Bernard Sestili tells the WTAE-TV the feathered fowl didn’t survive impact when it barreled into the dining room of the Eat’n Park in Penn Hills on Thursday afternoon. The restaurant was closed at the time.
Sestili says he responded when the building’s alarm went off.
He suspects the turkey may have been roosting in a nearby tree when it “got up this morning and went for his morning flight and flew into the window.”

Paging Les Nessman.
It’s a stressful time of year for turkeys
ping :)
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!
It is a real tragedy that no one recognized that turkey needed the help of an animal psychologist or whatever mental health it is that animals are getting these days. Counseling may have helped...
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!
Heh heh heh ... that was a great show.
The beginnings of another protest movement?
Terror Turkeys?
Maybe just holiday stress?
Probably just another turkey wanting to join in with that “occupy” thing.
That turkey knew his final destination and decided to take matters into his own hands - or wings, rather. I can only admire his fortitude and wish he was gracing my fridge right now.
So we’re all gonna pretend it was some kind of accident, huh? C’mon people, it’s obvious...he didn’t just throw himself through that window...he was pushed and the evil 1% made it look like an accident!
This situation was caused by the Bush administration. . . .
I’m currently reading transcripts of Hitler’s conferences with his generals. He also had a tendency to start “holding court” on world politics. During one of those, he predicted that the invasion of France would start in spring of ‘44, because it was an election year and if the FDR lost and the war wasn’t looking good, the new President’s party would blame all of the country’s problems on his war effort. All I could think of was “Bush’s fault”.
Do turkeys just wander around PA?
We have a lot of wild turkeys here in P.A
...Has just been bombed with live turkey.
It learned how to take off but not how to land. It must have been one of those halal turkeys.
