It would be difficult to stage a bizarre comedy farce so perfectly as this real-life event, in which a UPS driver is accosted and chased by an angry wild turkey. Upon reflection, I suspect the near-sighted bird thought the driver was a large turkey trying to horn in on his territory. Why else would he chase the guy in the brown uniform, but no one else? UPS might want to take this under advisement.
The scene is captured by one of many viewers safely inside a “hospital lunch room in Minnesota.” The lucky lookie-loo captured the entire chase, and if you wondered where your doctor was that day, there’s a good chance he or she was right here watching the drama unfold.
A raging turkey will strike fear in the heart of the bravest of men. Perhaps it was blind terror which caused the driver to seek a large object to put between himself and the angry bird, but salvation was not without irony. The UPS driver outfoxed the turkey for a time, with fancy footwork and flailing arms, by circling…A Fed Ex truck.
