Turkey crashes video store, bashes hunting section

April 16, 2002, 4:01 PM EDT

BATAVIA, N.Y. (AP) _ Film reviewers sometimes refer to bad movies as "turkeys," but a real turkey recently took a shot at some movies, hunting videos in particular.

Nancy Arena arrived at her video store 30 miles east of Buffalo last week to find the front window smashed and feathers and movie cases scattered everywhere.

She called police, and when the officer arrived at the store, he flushed a young tom turkey out of the science fiction section.

An animal control officer eventually took the 12-pound bird away.

Arena says the episode "was kind of weird" because the turkey bashed into the hunting videos first _ and left some droppings on them.

Spring is mating season for turkeys, and wildlife experts say the video-store crasher may have been looking for love _ or at least dinner and a movie.

He probably wanted to rent a copy of "Soylent Green".

Well, if he wanted to hang out with other turkeys, he should have gone to the "New Releases" section.
