VIDEO: Fowl fracas? Wild turkey chases UPS delivery driver on Minnesota sidewalk
ABC 23 Sacramento ^ | 1/1/2014 | Brian Hernandez

Consumers weren't the only ones upset with UPS delivery drivers this Christmas. In a video posted to YouTube, a wild turkey is seen taking out its frustration on a Minnesota UPS worker.

The Brown employee did his best to scare off the charging turkey, but the angry bird proves relentless.

Ironically, the UPS driver took refuge from the turkey around a nearby FedEx truck before racing to his own vehicle. The fowl fracas was enjoyed by a lunchroom filled with hospital workers with a clear view of the action.

A little comic relief for the Med. Assistants who help us when the troubles come. Geese are the same way, you have to dominate, and charge them aggressively , otherwise the hide and seek carousel keeps going round and round.

That turkey has been fed. It thought the guy had a bag of food, or maybe edible trash.

We have turkeys that hang around outside the office building near the parking lot. The office turkeys are not afraid of much but they won’t chase anybody - and we don’t feed them.

Just grab the thing by the neck!

Then twist until the beak passes the tail and faces the wing opposite the twist. Hang the beast up by its feet and either behead it or open the arteries and veins in the neck. When it has bled out, follow field dressing and defeathering procedures. Heat up the deep fryer.

A wild turkey can defend itself against a CoyoteSo, just grab its neck at personal risk. Their spurs can leave a pretty deep hole in your body.

Watch again. He got into the UPS truck at the end and it was the FedEx guy who chased the Turkey away.
