Police chase down Wild Turkey in Ottawa

It’s funny how one animal out of it’s environment can cause such mayhem!

In Ottawa a wild turkey caused a bit of scene when it was spotted walking around downtown.

Officers were dispatched to find this bird which definitely was running fowl….

An Ottawa based group Safe Wings eventually caught the bird and brought it to safely.

Here's the turkey roaming around at Metcalfe and Albert (also spotted on Metcalfe near Slater).

The wild turkey seen here walking away from some OC Transpo buses.

Not clear if the bird, like many Ottawans, had been waiting for the one it wanted and then eventually just gave up holding out hope it would ever show up #Ottawa pic.twitter.com/WhuFz7Je77
